Hey everyone, excited to join the community!

I’m looking for some guidance on pearl shopping for my love. I wanted to get her a loose pearl for our anniversary and after hours and hours of research settled on conch pearls. I was having a lot of trouble looking for something in budget that seemed reputable and ended up finding a few on ebay. I was ready to make an offer but I read something on here about conch pearls getting faked via carving from a shell or reshaped after harvest.

The seller is “the flame natural conch pearls,” they ship from Bogota and I liked these pieces:



They’ve also got a real nice looking 1.9 ct with great color and flame that is a little less round.


The prices seem a little too good to be true but they look legit, I am very much a novice though so I’m hoping someone here can provide feedback on their impressions. I know it’s hard to be sure from an online listing and I’m still just getting to know some of the industry red flags and I want to get this gift right. I want to gift her the journey of getting a one of a kind pearl to do whatever she wants with.

I was also looking at the sites “La Corser” and “Aloha Pearls,” not sure if anyone has purchased from them but I can make a separate thread about it.

Thanks so much for any feedback provided, it means the world to me!
