Not exactly a great deal, but better than most on eBay!
I've got one for you!
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...loc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget
GENUINE SEA AKOYA TAHITIAN BLACK/BLUE 17" PEARLS -14CT
AA +GENUINE PEARLS-$4150.00.TRUSTED PERTH SELLER 99.8%
It just happens to be a dyed freshwater strand. But in the description it is Japanese, it is Tahitian, and it is Akoya! But the box it comes with is classic Chinese pearl market stock.
Oh, and at 6mm you need to move that decimal up about 2 spaces to hit the true value.
The picture/banner that is of true Akoya is pulled directly from ThePearlOutlet.com. Do a right click on it and check properties. They are pulling it from another Site. They did not even have the smarts to just copy it and post it on their own.

how about these? I buy from her regualrly. She does not usually deal in pearls, she does estates sales and the like. I am considering buying them for the 19.95. what do you think?

Hi katkat,
Mallorca pearls are mystiquefied imitations. They are pretty and heavy and even collectible to some extent but fake they are.

I have that exact same necklace, I just never realized that it was genuine "Tahitian Akoya".
I overpaid for it, but I was much more uneducated than I am now, and I bought it at a fund-raiser sale for a local hospital, so at least the money went someplace worthwhile. What really burns me up about the listing is that the seller is a Powerseller who boasts about her feedback rating and refers to herself as a "Trusted Perth seller" in the banner of the listing. How many people get taken in by that sort of thing, assuming that they can have confidence in the feedback system? It's really sad.

Hi Zeide,
I get the Gumps catalog and I laugh myself silly everytime I look at their pearl jewelry and what they are trying to sell these pieces for.
