It has been a long time! Ended up buying from Cees a pair of 11.98mm white pearls half drilled:

Very beautiful pearl drops! How much do they weight?

Many thanks for the recommendation Karin! Chatting with Cees right now. Very accommodating seller indeed.

From my chat with an Ebay CS rep: "Me: If I will have to return the pearls, will my shipping to seller (China) be refunded? Them: What will happen since your seller is from china we will ask him to provide you first any means necessary so you can ship back the item. I see do not worry about the...

I'd say this is the best for a buyer. But this is ebay, not etsy.

Thank you so much ... will look further. Money back by the seller is the best self preservation.

Thank you so much, helpful forum members! If and when I get a pair of pearls in hand, how could I get some kind of expert opinion that this particular pair is bead nucleated freshwater instead of south sea pearls? The Etsy customer service might need some opinions in order to prove...

Are these the south sea ones? Thank you!

Almost any seller that deals with large quantities of pearls can make a mistake, and send the buyer a different pair. Regarding trusted or less trusted sources. Earlier I spoke to another Etsy seller who was recommended to me by an esteemed member of this forum. The seller (with very good...

Etsy seller. Their shop policies say items are not returnable. On etsy, I am not as confident as I would be on ebay. I am still talking to the seller, not buying right away. Also need to ask them which country is shipped from. If I correctly understand, the main risk of buying online is that...

Hello everyone, Prospecting pearls from another seller. What would you say about these, are they real south sea pearls?

Many cordial thanks for sharing your knowledge so handsomely, MotherOfPearlTrumpet! Such a nice job. Your hands must be made of gold!

Sorry for your experience. Must have been a gross misrepresentation by the seller. Did you get your money back?

Oh, I think I must have contacted the wrong seller. There seem to be more than one with similar ID names. The seller who quoted me the above price is in Australia. The other one with similar name is in Hong Kong. :)

The 'Pearls As One' course has lots of interesting information. Yes I took it, many thanks to the creators. At the same time, I personally find this forum to be way more useful than any course ;) Not sure I understand this....to glue yourself what?

They quoted me for a pair of 11.4mm round shape, slight imperfections, high lustre, price is AUD $2300. If this is a good price, then I don't want such pearls.

Thanks MotherOfPearlTrumpet! I wrote them, and one more seller as well.

The pearls in the attached photos, are they freshwater as well?

Hello everyone, Looking to buy a pair of white SSP for my jewelry project online. Half drilled 12mm. A seller named crystal-pearl from China offered me these: I asked for photos under a daylight. How do you find the luster of these? Quoted $135 for these. Thank you!

Just watched the US Open ceremony welcoming the first Canadian champion ever :D Any guesses on what kind of pearls did Bianca wore in the final US Open game?
