While an independent certified gemologist has valued this stunning necklace at $1,100, we're able to offer it at a fraction of that value because we buy our pearls directly from the pearl farms. 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. When you shop with Augustina Jewelry, you cut out the middleman and enjoy the best pearls at the lowest prices.
