Best place to buy pearls?
I'm thinking with the lace BM dresses, I may get the girls some pearl necklaces as gifts. Maybe a strand, maybe a pendant. I know Honora is good. Are there any other places (online preferably since I'm out of state) good for pearl necklaces? I think I want to spend $150 or less since I am also paying for their hair to be done. Here's the dress, probably will be in a shade of pink or raspberry.
P.S. TIA!

Re: Best place to buy pearls?
did you try fortunoff's? They might give you a discount being you are buying so many.

Re: Best place to buy pearls?
don't buy them online unless they are costume or Akoya.
I was very dissapointed in the quality of pearls I ordered from a catalog (Ross-Simons). They were full of blemishes and some even had gashes in them.

That's true. I would probably guy them in person, but it would have to be a place that has stores in MD.

Well, the sites that I mentioned buy the same quality as department stores. Try Macy's, Rich's or the like (not sure what's in MD).

I bought pearls from lord & taylor and they are excellent quality and reasonable prices. when they have the fine jewelry sales the pearls are usually half price.
