While this gorgeous necklace is appraised at $1,000 by an independent certified gemologist, we're thrilled to be able to offer it at only a fraction of that value. 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 buy our pearls directly from the farms where they're cultivated, allowing us to cut out the middle man and pass the savings along to you.
