While an independent certified gemologist has valued the same quality 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. (A copy of the appraisal will be mailed for reference of the value only. Please note that original appraisals from certified appraisers cost between $120 to $150 each in nationwide market.). When you shop with Augustina Jewelry, you cut out the middleman and enjoy the best pearls at the lowest prices.
