Thanks for stepping in Peter

Just looked at their site - not a pretty sight (excuse the pun)

beggars belief really

Many of this guy's "natural" gemstone beads are also obviously misrepresented on his website. Too bad there is not a way to alert innocent buyers.

Good news! Flagging has meant one of our mate's listings has been removed.

Beggars belief is right. I'm reeling from the stupidity.

From a consumer's point of view, thank you pearling Big Boys, independent small-medium retailers and the smorgasbord of altruistic do-gooders for doing a fine job policing the web for unethical pearling practices.

Why would anyone waste an ounce of their time writing emails in such a pursuit? Passion for what you do and what you believe in. Hats off to all of you.

Oh, but there is!

The site has been reported to The Jewelers Vigilance Committee. They might not be able to do too much about it, but Google acts quickly.
