Pearls Of Joy Opiniões 8

When you shop on the internet there is always the HOPE that the photos and verbiage match what you purchase. Pearls of Joy EXCEEDED my expectations. My earrings are exquisite; the luster and color of the pearls are exactly as I had hoped. I will shop here again and I highly recommend them.

I bought South Sea Pearl stud earrings and a ring in white gold. They are very high quality and elegant.

Good information …knowledgeable folks to work with…nice selection

I purchased a pearl choker for my partner for £226 from a company that AI rated as good. I wasnt really aware that this was a US company as all prices were in GBP. The items hit Fedex customs in the UK and they requested info for customs clearance from myself, which POJ provided. They cleared, then I get a bill for £63 import duty to release. In their T's&C's it is there but it is not obvious. Be aware that you will pay an additional 28% on top of their advertised price.

Beware of extra taxes if you order from this company and do not live in the USA. I live in the UK and had to pay a totally-unexpected £91.17 to FedEx in respect of duty/tax on top of the cost of my pearl pendant costing £394 ( £358 plus shipping £36) despite the original invoice confirming no tax payable. They make no mention of this on their website……so potential overseas buyers beware

My husband purchased their 7.0 - 7.5 AAA akoya pearls for me for Christmas. And wow! They are so gorgeous. Absolute show stoppers and just as pretty as a strand of Mikimotos I once saw at a local jewelry. These are high quality and have such a beautiful luster. They are ivory with just a hint of pink. So overall I’m very pleased with these pearls and my husband says the purchasing and shipping processes were very easy.

My issue with this company is the fact that they only post positive reviews on their website. My review was focused on how they gave me smaller sized pearls than what I had ordered and paid for (7.5-8mm). I only upgraded to the bigger size (and paid a higher price) from (7-7.5) because they give you a first time customer discount. They also weren’t able to answer and address the questions/request I raised after I put the order. Including my preference of getting white or silver overtone pair. The good thing for those living in the US is that they do seem to allow returns. The other problem I found with this return policy besides that I’m overseas and I have to pay almost the same as the earrings themselves to ship back, is that the instructions on how to package the items for the return include things they didn’t do when sending the item to me including “Ensure all clasps, chains or delicate parts are secured with bubble wrap, to prevent damage in transit.”

Just an update: I wore the earrings for a night out and my ear piercings became just a little crusty. This used to happen when I was younger not being able to afford real gold. I own a few 14k and 10k gold earrings and never had this reaction. Not sure if this is real 14k gold.
