Weekly Special - 10mm Mocha Tahitian Pearl Earring set in 14K Yellow Gold

Earrings and bracelet were lovely. I have purchesed on-line items from this merchant several times over the past five years and have never been disappointed. American Pearl is the only place I buy pearls!

American Pearl is among a handful of retailers in any field that I would recommend unconditionally. I have done business with AP three times. The first was a simple restringing job, which was completed promptly and capably, at very reasonable cost. My second AP experience was the purchase of a 16-inch Collection Quality 7.5x8mm Akoya necklace for my wife on our tenth anniversary - probably the most successful gift Ive ever given anyone. The pearls are stunning, my wife loves them, and at $2750 they were a relative bargain. (see http://www.americanpearl.com/75x8mmcolqua.html) On the third occasion, I purchased APs Weekly Special - a 9 x 10 mm Multicolor Freshwater Pearl Necklace - as a birthday present for a family friend; another great success, with the added bonus that the recipient thought I had spent far more than I had (she felt so guilty, though, that I had to tell her the real price: Under $300 with the discount. (see http://www.americanpearl.com/weeklyspecial.html) Aside from a high-quality product at an excellent price, AP excels at customer service. Since I work near their Fifth Avenue office, Ive had the pleasure of dealing with Eddie Bakash in person. Hes a great guy, very passionate about his field, and happy to educate curious customers about oyster esoterica. Everything is fully guaranteed, and the packaging and paperwork is beautifully presented. I cant comment on shipping, because I have always picked up the merchandise in person. I gave AP top marks for Shipping Options and Delivery anyway, because Eddie has been so accomodating about the timing of pickup. In short, American Pearl is - if you will pardon an obvious pun - a rare gem.
