My Pearl Necklace...Is It Real, Or Is It Fake?

On this April Fool's Eve (one of our favorite holidays!), we thought it appropriate to discuss a phenomenon that is unfortunately all too common these days with online merchants: Counterfeits and fakes.

The pearl industry isn't immune to the problem...a quick search of any online auction site reveals a slew of pearls and other jewelry whose prices are just...well, too good to be true.

Terry Shepherd, a.k.a. "The Pearl Hunter" and owner of The Pearl Outlet, has a legitimate reason to be concerned about the proliferation of fake pearls. It's bad for the industry, it's bad for business, and it's really bad for the consumer.

We found a great online treatise about how best to spot a fake pearl here. It discusses a number of different methods you can use to ensure that you're getting the quality of pearls that you think you're getting.

Of course, you can always be assured that you're getting the BEST quality of genuine pearls at The Pearl Outlet. The Pearl Hunter takes exhaustive measures to select the pearls that he sells, resulting in a positive buying experience for you.
