I like wenpearls and the pearl house from etsy. Also youpearl.com is great too for inexpensive pearls.

Thanks you two :).
Wow the prices have gone up since the last time I looked. It's been a couple of years. I am going to a gem show this summer. maybe there will be someone there selling loose pearls.

Yes I saw that but was worried because they are coming all the way from China. Recently I ordered a few things from abroad through Ebay and they never arrived.

I have purchased quite a few things from them in the past. Their pearls are great for the price. Inexpensive pretty pearls. You just have to be knowledgable what you are buying. differences in grade, natural color versus dyed, and types helps. But overall they have been really great with descriptions and pictures.

I received all my packages but I always paid for upgraded delivery.

Nice Keshi pearls! I may give it a try on some less expensive items. Thanks for sharing that info.

I just got some great lavender Fresdama quality 6/7mm and 10/11mm Freshwater pearls that Im going to combine with faceted Amethyst Rondelles. These pearls are from Pearl Paradise and helpful guidance from Erin.
