    Buying duty-free pearl on airplane - what quality is this pearl?

    Thank you for everybody's feedback and comments. I post another better pictures of these pearls. Personally I quite like them, and I just hope they are real good quality freshwater pearls. They felt gritty when I rubbed them together btw. I heard that good fake shell pearls can do the same, but...

    Chin's jeweler on Ebay

    I understand lilliefuzzyscks' point about Kasumi pearl, as their name should be respected and should only be used for Japanese pearls coming from lake Kasumi ga Ura. However, I personally still think Chinese "kasumi" pearls are beautiful untreated pearls and they can still be appreciated as...

    Chin's jeweler on Ebay

    Well those are Chinese Kasumi pearls, not Japanese so the price difference is significant. I think they are still real untreated pearls though. I guess Chinese and HK sellers just treat the term "Kasumi" as a type of pearl quality, not pearl origins.

    Chin's jeweler on Ebay

    Thank you lilliefuzzysocks for the warning. Yeah I think I'm not gonna go for this strand then. They are willing to sell it to me for $160, which is too good of a deal already. But too much risk when buying white pearls from unknown sellers. Valentine is near anyway so I'm hoping to see good...

    Chin's jeweler on Ebay

    Yes! That's the one! I'm sorry if the link didn't work. I'm making offer for it so EBay keeps direct me to that link. It works for me tho... About ebay, I've found some pretty reputable vendors like druzy design, seaside cottage treasures and pearl society, so I wonder if Chin's pearl is also a...

    Buying duty-free pearl on airplane - what quality is this pearl?

    Do shell pearls pass the rubbing test too? I know they are made from mother of pearl powders but will the texture and weight any different from real pearls? Btw, I saw they selling Mikimoto pearls too? �� I can't really find many posts about inflight pearls, so I don't know the overall quality.

    Hi I'm a new member in this forum, and also a pearl beginner. I recently had a flight with Korea airlines and somehow decided to buy a pearl jewelry set they sold inflight. I know that type of shopping was more like a gamble and was stupid, but the price was so tempting I did it anyway. The...
