Product Review

Appraised $7000 Freshwater Cultured Pearl Necklace. WOW - Gem Quality Pearls selected from Millions of Oysters. This gorgeous necklace features absolutely the best white freshwater cultured pearls available. Because of the way they're cultivated, freshwater pearls are known for their oval, baroque and other unusual shapes. As a result, freshwaters have become revered for these distinct shapes that reflect all the natural beauty and allure of the sea. However, they do occur in a perfectly round shape, though these examples are extremely rare. Though it's little known (even your jeweler probably doesn't know), the other unique quality of freshwater pearls as opposed to saltwaters is that they actually have a thicker nacre than the saltwater pearl, making them even more valuable than Akoyas. We have been lucky enough to obtain a great selection of these precious beauties, and we've created this stunning 18" necklace from them. We chose each 7-7.5mm pearl for their nearly perfect round shape, rich, creamy luster, flawless surface and thick nacre. These are gem quality pearls, professionally strung on the finest silk, individually hand-knotted between each bead, and finished with a 14k yellow gold clasp. When you open up the luxurious leatherette box holding this gorgeous choker, we know you'll be thrilled - and see if you can tell the difference between this and the more expensive saltwaters.

An independent certified gemologist has valued this splendid necklace at $7,000 - we'll send you a copy of the appraisal. 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. We're happy to be able to offer it to you at a significant discount by buying these exquisite pearls directly from the farms where they're cultured.
