I think you will love your Mikimoto. It is the same as Chanel bag. You can buy as many look alike (and I am not talking fakes here, just similar styles), you still need a real thing. Even if the people around you keep whispering "they are the same thing". Just trust yourself. I know what I like, and I will get it next time.
I had good purchases and awful purchases from pearl paradise. They don't show the actual item they sell. You need to ask for pictures (like I am supposed to know it is just stock photos, and not the actual merchandise). They enhance pictures. I had copy of one of the item I purchased and they enhance it to look good on a pic, it did not even look anywhere how it come to me. It was the last purchase I made from them. They use light box. When you will get your pearls, you will wonder for months, how did they manage to sell you the color you can't find on your pearls.
It may be adventurous and you may win, but I learned it is pretty much a roulette with them.
Again, why would I need personal assistance each time I make a purchase? Some people like it. I like the product. I do care about history of the product, not somebody else's taste to choose for me.
many years ago.
