14K Gold Hanadama Akoya Pearl Necklace - 17" Princess Length for Women, Elegant Gift & Wedding Jewelry

Took a big risk on ordering these because my wife had worked for a number of jewelry stores over the years. Lets just say she has a critical eye! They passed all the test...no problem! Nice box and all the paper work certifying them was in order.I just received this necklace from my fiancé for my birthday--we are getting married next month and I mentioned I would like to wear pearls because I thought they were elegant and classy. I have never owned a genuine, freshwater pearl necklace, mine are all imitation and have started to peel. I never thought to purchase a real set, or to ask even, because why spend the money? I thought there wasn't much to tell between real and not--BUT there is a HUGE difference!! These pearls are absolutely breath-taking....the luster and iridescence of each pearl create the most stunning piece of jewelry! You can also tell by the craftsmanship and weight they are real...not to mention the official certificate that is included that tells you all about the specimen of pearl you have--how cool! I am sooooo happy and excited to wear these for our wedding--I am torn between wearing them for the first time for the wedding or for this coming Easter...I just cannot wait to wear them! I am so surprised my fiancé picked up on something I had always wanted (but never asked for) and now have the most beautiful pearl necklace I could ever have asked for!! All I can say is there is absolutely no disappointment with this product...between the quality, the delivery, and sheer beauty of the pearls...A MUST if you would like to buy a loved one an elegant and timeless piece of jewelry she will forever treasure!A beautiful hanadama necklace arrived right on time. The product and packaging were flawless; the enclosed anaysis and "pedigree" were thorough and informative. I recommend The Pearl Source unreservedly.This is a beautiful pearl necklace. Absolutely stunning.Extremely pleased with quality of the pearls and prompt delivery!!
