If you've been to a jewelry store that trades in the highest quality pearl strands, you'll know that those strands are usually had only at the pearliest prices. CHINA PEARL offers these same finer-quality strands at a fraction of traditional-store prices. This we can do because we are owned and operated by a major pearl importer: we're the cyberspace arm of the source itself. Much like shopping at the clothing industry's popular factory outlets that sell you their apparel straight from the mills, buying from CHINA PEARL is to buy direct from the same firm that procured your pearls from the harvesters in China. By cutting out all the middlemen, we are able to offer you truly wholesale prices. The result for our customers is simply unrivalled: the same high-grade pearl strands for the lowest prices available.As our testimonials page attests, many of our satisfied customers--sometimes finding our prices almost too good to be true--have taken their newly-bought strands to local jewelry stores to be appraised. They routinely report being told that a strand of such quality is only available for a price up to 2.5 times what they paid at CHINA PEARL. Our customers gush. They're surprised at the difference. We're not. This is what CHINA PEARL is all about. We are sidestepping the middlemen for shrewd, discriminating shoppers who want AAA-quality pearls without AAA retail price tags.We are not a fly-by-night Internet startup that simply set up a website and opened for business. Our family has been in the pearl business for 40 years. We are run by wholesalers of pearls and pearl jewelry with a half century of experience. As pearl experts who have inspected and sold more than a million strands, we understand our customers' need for information, security and confidence in making such a substantial purchase as a pearl strand for a loved one. After all, even at our slashed wholesaler prices, a pearl strand represents a relatively large and momentous purchase for mostpeople
