Recently, I've developed an all encompassing love for pearls.  They're just so classy and gorgeous...I had to have some of my own.  

The ones I've seen around here have been ridiculously priced, and fake to boot!  I knew I could get real ones online for cheaper, so that's the route I took.

72" pearl necklace:  $6

18" pearl necklace:  $1.65

3 strand 'pearl' bracelet:  $1.99

The bracelet turned out to be fake, even though the seller listed them as being 'genuine freshwater pearls.'  I called them on it, and thankfully, they gave me a refund. 

As for the other ones-they're more beautiful than I imagined!  Even though they're not perfectly round or consistent, they surpass any imitation pearl I've seen.  I'm planning to get more in different lengths and colours :o.
