An independent appraiser has valued this necklace at $1,700 - we'll include a copy of the appraisal with your purchase. 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. We're happy to be able to offer it to you at such an incredible price by buying our pearls directly from the farms where they're cultured. This allows you to cut out the middle man and pricy retail markup costs - save on the best pearls when you shop at Augustina Jewelry.
