Interested in purchasing a Tahitian strand for a dear friend.
I've got several questions though:
1. I haven't seen too many high quality "tin cup" style strands available. Is this common?
2. Does the material that the pearls are strung upon matter? I've seen double knotted silk as well as actual gold chains. Can one actually see the strand when the pearls are worn?
3. Is it recommended to send items to a GIA grader? Can I trust internet sites to provide accurate grading for these strands? What type of grading is required for insurance purposes?
Those are some of the questions I had. Thanks for your time.
