Thank you very much. The necklace is supposed to be 18K white gold with a Tahitian cultured pearl and two sapphires (although they look rather raw). The company is offering this with two earrings that include a pearl that is slightly smaller and a similar sapphire with a small white gold strand each. The total amount is 400 US for the necklace and two earrings which is total gems of three Tahitian pearls, four circular raw sapphire beads of sort, the white gold necklace, and two short white gold strands for the earrings. The necklace by itself was originally 190 US. I was told by a jeweler back home that the authenticity of the sapphires would be difficult to ascertain on my own or where that particular pearl and the earring Pearls come from. Lastly, she warned that a gold chain through a drilled pearl hole could cause issues and Black spots. What do you all think? If he is making a custom one based on this necklace, which type of pearl should I go with and what size? What flaws should I look for?
I would appreciate your thoughts. It is in a nice establishment in Doha in the Gold Souq being done. What should I ask to ensure that these are all real? Is 400 USD a good deal when I haggled he and his boss down from maybe 600. Anything similar in the States or elsewhere?
So that it's not fraud, should I specify in the contract the types of Pearls (what would you recommend), the gold, and the sapphires?
I have to make my decision in a day since I am returning from my deployment. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing the responses. Thank you!
