2.  High Quality Pearls
Nearly all of our pearls are AAA quality.  The most common internationally accepted quality-grading system in the pearl industry is the A to AAA Grading System used by Gallery of Pearls.  Retailers who claim to have quality pearls higher than AAA are simply making up their own pearl rating.  Moreover, pearl grading guidelines have been established by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and it is safest to buy from a company with certified GIA Pearl Graduates.  Pearls rated with an A are only worth a fraction of AAA rated pearls and will not last as long or look as rich and aesthetically appealing.  For more details please see Fine Pearl Jewelry, Evaluating Pearl Quality, Knowing How to Buy Pearl Jewelry.

3.  Pricing 50% to 70% Off True Retail
Don’t be fooled by retail stores or other online stores offering 80% to 90% off retail prices for their jewelry.  The fact of the matter is, the majority of stores highly exaggerate retail prices so the discounted price looks greater.  Paying $50 for a $300 retail item provides an 83% discount but if the true retail price is truly $150 then the discount is honestly 67% off.  Gallery of Pearls prices are 50% to 70% below the true average estimated retail value.  Our reference to retail price for each product is conservatively based so that your reduced price is accurately stated and meaningful.  For more details see Discount Pearls, Wholesale Freshwater Pearls.

5.  Free Gift Box or Silk Jewelry Bag
