We've had an independent gemologist appraise this necklace - the result is a $2,500 appraised value. However, we are able to offer it to you at a fraction of that value by buying directly from the source. This allows us to cut out the middleman and costly retail markups and pass the savings along to you. Please understand that original appraisals from certified appraisers cost between $120 to $150 each in nationwide market. Thus we are not able to send the original appraisals along the order. We'll send you the copy of the appraisal which was done on a same quality pearl necklace and for reference purposes only. Shop with confidence at Augustina Jewelry. *** If you want the matching Pearl Necklace and Earrings or bracelets, please search our Pearl Sets from the following ASIN.

When we sell the Pearl Sets, we already match the Pearls for necklace, earrings, bracelets. If you buy pearl necklace, earrings or bracelets separately, they might not match 100%.

This review is from: AugustinaJewelry AAA Quality 18 Inch Round 6.5-7mm White Akoya SaltWater Cultured Pearl Necklace (Jewelry) I was skeptical about buying jewelry over the internet, but the prices were too good to pass up, and Augustina Jewelry had gotten such great reviews that I figured I'd take a chance. I'm VERY glad I did! The string of pearls is beautiful, and the stringing very carefully done. The quality seems excellent - there's no need to spend more.
On a side note, Augustina Jewelry is one of the best online stores/sellers that I've ever dealt with. Great customer service every time I've contacted them. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: AugustinaJewelry AAA Quality 18 Inch Round 6.5-7mm White Akoya SaltWater Cultured Pearl Necklace (Jewelry) I bought these for my wife for her first mother's day this year. She has a pair of pearl earrings already and I wanted to get her this matching necklace. The matching part didn't work out (more on that later), but I am totally pleased with the necklace. But initially I wasn't...
When I got the pearls, I compared them to her earrings and they were noticeably smaller. I really wanted matching size and so I started to consider other options. I went to the mall to a major department store and found some freshwater pearls that were 0.5mm smaller than her earrings (I think they are 8.0mm). So I bought them because 1) the size was a better match and 2) they were $110 cheaper. I figured I'd just return the Akoyas. I came home and compared the freshwater pearl necklace to the earrings and it was a good size match. But that's the end of the good news story. The freshwater pearls were not nearly as round as the Akoya and they were stranded very poorly (very...Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: AugustinaJewelry AAA Quality 18 Inch Round 6.5-7mm White Akoya SaltWater Cultured Pearl Necklace (Jewelry) Let me precede this review first by stating that I am a 24 year old male who has never purchased Pearls before in my life. My knowledge of pearls are, at best, extremely limited. Thus, I decided to do a little bit of research on Akoya pearls and the difference between saltwater and freshwater pearls before purchasing this necklace. As this is a gift to my girlfriend of two years for Christmas/New Years, I wanted to make sure she was pleased with this item thoroughly. After purchasing through Amazon at the extremely fair price of $350.00 (supposedly 50% off the marked price, my necklace came in roughly three days later via USPS mail. Very quick indeed. Opening the package up, the first item that dropped out was an appraisal of the necklace by some third party company, and at the price of $2,500. There are multiple things that I find a bit surprising about this appraisal. The first thing is that the value is $2,500; like I said before, I do not know a great deal about...Read more |
