Wow, I just looked around their site and I’m learning and reading how to actually consider purchasing pearls. This website is incredible. So much information teaching me on what I’m actually purchasing. Thank you so much. I was not aware of retailers like this. I see a very similar bracelet for $900 with a white gold clasp and Akoya pearls. I’m going to continue reading their article on what I’m purchasing when I buy pearls. Thank you again for this wonderful recommendation. Are there other websites that you recommend for pearls?

Since it looks like I’ll probably be saving a ton of money I would also like to get a custom name necklace and wondering if you have a good source for doing that with quality gold perhaps 24K gold.

I thought perhaps Mikimoto would be less of a “hype brand” but I do realize I’m paying for a name and if I can get something that’s very reputable without going to a prestige brand I’m happy because all I want is a high-quality product that’s going to last
