Hello! I’m in search of another quality wholesale pearl source
that is reputable and dependable. I’m specifically looking for
undrilled 9.5-10.0mm black and white cultured pearls in A/B
grade. I have priced Rio Grande (still waiting for a response on
pricing for this size white pearl), Maurice Goldman & Sons, and
the web. The web did not offer much, and I’m a bit nervous
working with someone I’ve never heard of or who did not come
referred. So, I would greatly appreciate the experience and
knowledge of this group.
