An independent certified gemologist has set the value of this necklace at $1,000 - we'll send you a copy of the appraisal. 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. Fortunately, because we buy our freshwaters straight from the pearl farms, we're thrilled to be able to offer it to you at this spectacular price. Cut out the middleman and costly retail markups by shopping with Augustina Jewelry.
