It is rare when an internet purchase turns into a memorable experience, but that is exactly what my first encounter with American Pearl has become. I took a collection grade strand to a trusted appraiser who gave a disappointingly indifferent opinion of its actual worth. That nearly put an abrupt and disappointing cap on an otherwise celebrated event, but before returning the strand I was fortunate to get the advice of Mr Bakhash. His encouragement put me on a day of discovery when I learned to measure pearls for myself, I found the charming symmetry in the way a strand is assembled, and I finally came to see the quality of what I had purchased through the eyes of the experienced staff at a local Tiffany store. There, when I asked what my strand might be comparable to, the person looking at them became palpably excited and repeatedly asked me if the strand came from Tiffany. She had no doubts, and no hesitation to say, that the strand I was holding was one that would be! It would absolutely be sold in that store. Moreover, the quality, the beauty, and even the match of the pearls inspired many admiring comments from her and a great deal of obvious pleasure as she handled the strand. Then she let me share her admiration as she placed the strand alongside others she had so I would see all this for myself. Mr. Bakhash has done the truly remarkable at American Pearl, and made available exactly what he speaks about. I will be a lifelong customer, and recommend him to anyone looking for memorable pearl jewelry.
Thank you for making our experience of buying pearls such a special occasion. I was thrilled when Stephen told me he wanted to buy me a pearl necklace for my 40th Birthday. I have wanted a string of pearls for many years and knew it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The quality of your pearls and your fabulous service ensured the perfect day! I will always remember being in New York and buying pearls from you on 5th Avenue as one of my most special memories. I do appreciate you organizing the matching earrings so quickly and the set looks lovely.Please also thank Leah for her superb work stringing the pearls. I suspect the experience will not be once in a lifetime after all.
