While this necklace has been appraised at a $500 value, we're happy to be able to offer it at such a fantastic price - we buy straight from the source. That way we can cut out middlemen and large markup costs. Please understand that original appraisals from certified appraisers cost between $120 to $150 each in nationwide market. Thus we are not able to send the original appraisals along the order. We'll send you the copy of the appraisal which was done on a same quality pearl necklace and for reference purposes only. At Augustina Jewelry you get the best freshwater pearls at the best prices.
