Hi everyone - There are so many resources and recommended online retailers for diamonds, but what about pearls. I have been looking for a choker (14-14.5 inches) with excellent luster, surface condition, and nacre thickness with Akoya pearls in a size of 7.5-8.0 mm. I have found a multitude of online retailers, but I don't know where to turn for truly good quality at a fair price. It is definately a more arduous task than buying diamonds as I have heard many horror stories regarding pearl purchases. Any suggestions?
