WOW! That was fantastic Blaire. I loved all the examples, how long did this take to do, you really went all out on this.

Yes, it took quite a while! (Months) I have files full of all their photos, screen shots of all the listings, copies of all the communication and I took hundreds of photos. I drove to Los Angeles to involve other appraisers and get tests. I still have a box filled with the results pearls.

It wasn't easy to distill all that into a presentation that would be entertaining - it was the ruckus, after all.

We really missed both of you.

Man ohhh man that is an awesum ebay pearls exposing. But seriously I wouldnt believe a 20$ genuine tahitian pearls. Thats xiangmingtan ebay shop however selling it like for 500 to 26000 for a strand. Thats why Im a bit curious could it be real. If its not real Ill be really pissed paying hundreds or even thousands n recieving fakes! Ouch!!

Hi! I checked and snoop around the website. It doesnt say what kind of pearls and the metal setting. Are those freshwater?

If they don't say, then I would assume freshwater pearls.
