I am interested in some 6-6.5 mm white akoya pearls with slight rose over tone, ("AAA") (white gold post) for my wedding as I'm a petite person and the bigger ones don't look right on my ears. I have seen some at Blue Nile, PearlsofJoy, and PearlParadise. However the latter two websites have ver similar prices but Blue Nile is almost 2x as much for nearly the same product. The price at BN is about $270, and POJ is $87, and PP is $98. The discrepancy makes me worry if by buying the "cheaper" pearls (as I'm inclined to do, since I don't feel the need to go all out on these) if they are somehow not as good quality or they are not trusted websites. Any feedback? Thanks. I am a newbie to jewelry in general and a first time pearl buyer so any advice is much appreciated. Pricescope users have already helped me pick the center stone for my engagement ring and make the best informed decision I could.
