BEWARE. You don't get you ask for. My mother-in-law purchased several birthstones and chains for the kids and grandkids for Christmas. Turns out she got nothing she asked for. The "Real" pearl, two months later, is peeling. We went to a professional jeweler and discovered it's actually a plastic ball with a pearl-like coating. My mother even purchased warranty's on everything. Why the hell would a jeweler even warranty a fake pearl?? Bazaar! Guess if I want to go back every two months to have the thing re-coated I could. The pendant she was sold as "diamonds" are actually all white sapphires. Big difference. Why would a jeweler in an upscale mall sell fake plastic pearls???? This place is a joke and will totally take advantage of you if you're not careful. Another note: Sterling Jeweler's in on the BBB. Despite their A+ rating, you might be interested in knowing they have had over 900 complaints in less than 36 months.
