Dave, the fact is most online jewelry sellers, even well intentioned reputable sellers, are not in compliance with FTC guidelines. I am not just limiting my comments to eBay, but to every company selling jewelry online--including pearls. You sellers out there don't have to necessarily have...

That sounds about right to me. I can't tell quality of lusters but they are plain old fw button pearls. i could see using them as roundels with faceted amethyst beads or pink tourmaline and jade, the the pearls as spacers :-).

I have purchased a number of strands and earrings from eBayers in china... If you see a 20 or 50 Tahitian strand on eBay, it's not Tahitian it's freshwater. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it's not true. That said, I bought a "Tahitian" strand with14k clasp for $15 and they were...

Kizzy, I like that setting. It's a little dressier and looks more like an engagement ring then the others. As a guy, it's important to me that my wife's engagement ring sends out the message..TAKEN, LOOK ELSWHERE!!, :-)

When did that change regarding seller feedback of buyers go into effect???? That's terrible--particular if you're selling big ticket items like high end jewelry or cars (I bought a car on eBay).

The problem is ebay isn't just a pearl site and they don't have humans reviewing all the listings. They have to rely on their bots to identify potential issues. The term "Tahitian Black" has been used by certain car manufacturers as a name for a paint color and it may have been used to...

Can't see the picture? I think you need to fix the link.

How can you police all the listings on eBay and determine if the representations are fair and accurate? I am just not sure it's possible. It's got to be left to member to self-police, just like we're doing here. What to the people at eBay actually know about pearls??? Probably nothing--but...

I like that ring caitlin. Were there any other pictures or a description of it. I can't really get a good glimpse of te center stone. I have had this ring on my watch list since september: It's a 3.04 ct sapphire which looks like a nice quality stone in an 18k yellow gold setting. It's...

I like the earthiness and simplicity of the kojima peal styles and that would be a lovely choice. I would like to put one other option on the table if you would be interested in a non-blue sapphire ring. I was looking on the natural sapphire company website and they have a really nice...

Hi Kizzy. That's a lovely setting. Others may be able to point you to a local retailer, but there are many fine online retailers that probably have better inventories at more reasonable prices. A Tahitian pearl would make a lovely ring. When you say you have an active lifestyle, what do you...

I have bought some from Bella's and they have a great selection at good prices. However, their shipping is a bit pricey and quality is a mixed bag. I bought a stardust silver ball clasp and it was white with scaling. Other pieces have been great though.

I don't know? I didn't ask. Is that something I should be asking?

I checked with 2 jewelers by me and one was 1.50 and and the other was a 1.75 An inch (I am in long Island, NY).

Rusty, I always wanted to visit the land down under. :-).

What is her eBay name? I can't seem to find her.

Why don't you post some pictures?

This pastel strand is gorgeous. I hope you can post a few more pictures of it for us. :)

I knew about the Barbara Bush pearls being fakes, but I didn't know that about JK. Hmmmm... I wonder if JFK would have given Marilyn glass pearls?!?!?!

I can't stomach Dog the Bounty Hunter. My wife has a twisted love for Toddler's in Tiara's and all of those Deadly Women shows on the Investigation channel (whatever it's called). I find both shows equally disturbing! Reality shows are ok, but I can't wait until Madmen premiers later this...
