If you are looking for pearls, there are three options. We have genuine, fake (manufactured in China) and cultivated. The cultivated ones are also the least expensive just for their accessibility and just because they are synthetically produced does not mean that they are false, they are still pearls.

Choose a store as carefully and make searches before just as you would for anything else. Do your due diligence. Get help from friends and acquaintances and check out the return policy in case you regret it soon.
