I'm sad to learn that I didn't win on the first go-around but glad to have been offered a second chance! Thank you very much Jeremy!

Yikes Wendy! I would be most displeased if I were a customer who overpaid for these pearls! All I can say is that I brought it to the attention of the reseller. They were not convinced by my email but, fortunately, the sale is over. Hopefully they will think twice before putting them up for sale...

They are on sale for $2095, with a retail price of $3492. I'm not sure what would be a fair price for freshwater pearls of 12-15 mm and this quality....

That's what I thought! I'm glad I have learned a few things from you all :D Thanks for your reply! I will let them know. Anne

I'm sorry Katbran! I didn't mean to imply that the photos were intentionally misleading. I am just factoring in the reality that the pearls will not be quite as spectacular as the glamour shots!

Thank you Pattye and Katbran for your replies! I did go ahead and order the DruzyDesign because they would arrive much sooner than the Eastern Trade Winds, coming from Bali. I needed some instant gratification and I have an event the first week of October for which I would like to have the...

Hi everyone- I have been a lurker for some time now and have really enjoyed learning about pearls! What an amazing group of experts. I am a goldsmith and while I love buying other people's designs, I feel so proud when I wear something I've made myself. In addition, while I love strands, I...
