Product Description
Appraised $2500 White Akoya Saltwater Cultured Pearl Necklace. This splendid Akoya necklace fashioned from only the highest quality Akoya salt water cultured 6.5-7mm pearls simply exudes luxury. Each AAA rated pearl has been hand selected for its smooth, unblemished surface, high sheen and luster, perfect round shape and flawless thick nacre. After their selection, the beads are professionally strung on fine silk, hand-knotted between each individual bead, then finished with a lovely 14K yellow gold clasp. When it arrives at your home, as with all of our fine jewelry, this necklace will be nestled in a sumptuous leatherette box designed to showcase its beauty.
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. (B0011XXFQQ, B0011XQKF4, B000H5LG1K, B000H5JKH2, B000H5MYE8, B000H5JZRC, B000H5I0RS, B0011XRN3C, B0012A6MXG, B0011XTKFG, B0009FTH5A, B000O72YD0, B000AW076A). 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%. Please note that each strand or each pair of earrings is quite unique in terms of color or luster.

Summary: Quality product, excellent value, great service. 2010-02-15
Comment: My wife asked me to purchase a set of pearls for my daughter for her birthday. Like a typical guy I wanted to buy them online, and I waited until close to the event to act. I reviewed several options and decided to buy through [...], because of other customer reviews, and their association with Amazon. I requested overnight shipping with my order, but failed to account for the horrendous amounts of snow in the Northeast. To their credit, Augustina got my order to Coastal Georgia on time for my daughter's birthday. Not only is my daughter in love with them, my wife believes they are nicer than two different sets I purchased for her, in years past, for more money, from brick and mortar stores. I would definitely buy from Augustina again.
Comment: 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 tight to the point of the necklace not draping or laying or swaying nicely). Also, I found the color of the Akoyas to be more pleasing.
So despite my attempt to get a better match, when I laid the freshwater pearls next to the Akoya strand, I felt there was no comparison. The $110 extra was absolutely worth it. And now I have an excuse to upgrade her earrings to Akoya in the future.
So my final, honest advice is: Men - don't cheap out. Buy the good stuff, it will be worth it.

Comment: I have no experience buying pearls. But once these arrived I started looking at others in the stores. These just have a soft color that says quality not quanity

Summary: Beautiful, and excellent value 2007-01-06
Comment: 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.
