The first was a simple restringing job, which was completed promptly and capably, at very reasonable cost. My second AP experience was the purchase of a 16-inch Collection Quality 7.5x8mm Akoya necklace for my wife on our tenth anniversary - probably the most successful gift Ive ever given anyone. The pearls are stunning, my wife loves them, and at 2750 they were a relative bargain. (see http://www.americanpearl.com/75x8mmcolqua.html)<br /><br />On the third occasion, I purchased APs Weekly Special - a 9 x 10 mm Multicolor Freshwater Pearl Necklace - as a birthday present for a family friend another great success, with the added bonus that the recipient thought I had spent far more than I had (she felt so guilty, though, that I had to tell her the real price: Under 300 with the discount. (see http://www.americanpearl.com/weeklyspecial.html) Aside from a high-quality product at an excellent price, AP excels at customer service. Since I work near their Fifth Avenue office, Ive had the pleasure of dealing with Eddie Bakhash in person. Hes a great guy, very passionate about his field, and happy to educate curious customers about oyster esoterica. Everything is fully guaranteed, and the packaging and paperwork is beautifully presented.<br /><br />I cant comment on shipping, because I have always picked up the merchandise in person. I gave AP top marks for Shipping Options and Delivery anyway, because Eddie has been so accomodating about the timing of pickup. In short, American Pearl is - if you will pardon an obvious pun - a rare gem.</td></tr><tr><td height="20"></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" class="reviewrow"><div id="stars1" style="width: 100px; height: 16px; display: block; background: url(https://www.kingwebtools.com/americanpearl/feedback_system/images/image-matrix2.png) no-repeat 0 -160px;"> </div><b>David:</b><i> Glen Ridge, NJ</i> (December 15, 2010)<br />I really appreciate the amount of educational material on their website.

Eddie and his staff were patient and professional, explaining various the options and trade-offs in selecting pearls. He encouraged me to visit his big-name competitors, which I did. Apparently, a research trip to Mikimoto and Tiffany nearly always leads to a customer returning to (and buying from) American Pearl.<br /><br />The pearls are magnificent, my wife is ecstatic, and I have the satisfaction of knowing we got the very best at an extremely fair price.<br /><br />Being treated with respect by a firm that takes its product and services sersiously is a rare treat. I would recommend American Pearl to anyone interested in purchasing pearls. I also recommend their website to anyone who simply wants to learn more about this extraordinary product of nature.</td></tr><tr><td height="20"></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" class="reviewrow"><div id="stars1" style="width: 100px; height: 16px; display: block; background: url(https://www.kingwebtools.com/americanpearl/feedback_system/images/image-matrix2.png) no-repeat 0 -160px;"> </div><b>David:</b><i> Jersey City, NJ</i> (December 15, 2010)<br /> I really appreciate the amount of educational material on their website.

The stores I visited had limited offerings and what they did have was overpriced for the quality being offered. I felt like I knew more about pearls than the retailers. So, I took a chance and ordered from American Pearl. Ordering was easy and I received the necklace in three business as promised. The necklace was beautiful and so much better than anything I seen locally. Because American Pearl offers a 30 money back guarantee, I immediately had the necklace appraised by a certified gemologist and licensed appraiser (45 for a written appraisal). The size and quality of the pearls was exactly what American Pearl had advertised. I\'m quite pleased with my purchase and I know my wife will be very happy with the necklace.</td></tr><tr><td height="20"></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=550><tr><td align="right"><a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="showMoreReviews(this);">More Reviews...</a></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><div id="reviews-thank-you" style="display: none;"></div><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=550 id="writereviews" style="display: none;"><tr><td><div style="font-size: 10px;" id="submit_review_form">			<form action="javascript:SubmitReview(\'americanpearl\');" name="review_form" id="review_form">				<table width="550" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="font-size: 11px; margin-top: 10px;">					<tr>						<td style="padding-top: 10px;">							<div style="line-height: 16px;">								<div style="width: 200px; float: left; padding-top: 3px;">									<b>Click The Number of Stars to Rate:</b>								</div>								<div style="width: 120px; float: left; height: 20px">									<ul class="rating nostar" id="kwm_rating">										<li class="one">											<a title="1 Star" onclick="setValue(\'kwm_rating\', 1);">1											</a>										</li>										<li class="two">											<a title="2 Stars" onclick="setValue(\'kwm_rating\', 2);">2											</a>										</li>										<li class="three">											<a title="3 Stars" onclick="setValue(\'kwm_rating\', 3);">3											</a>										</li>										<li class="four">											<a title="4 Stars" onclick="setValue(\'kwm_rating\', 4);">4											</a>										</li>										<li class="five">											<a title="5 Stars" onclick="setValue(\'kwm_rating\', 5);">5											</a>										</li>									</ul>								</div>							</div>						</td>					</tr>					<tr>						<td style="padding-top: 10px;">							Your Name (Optional):							<br />							<input type="text" name="your_name" id="your_name" style="width: 250px;">						</td>					</tr>					<tr>						<td style="padding-top: 10px;">							Your City, State (2 Letter Abbreviation):							<br />							<input type="text" name="your_location" id="your_location" style="width: 250px;">						</td>					</tr>					<tr>						<td style="padding-top: 10px;">							Type your review in the space below:							<br />							<textarea name="kwm_comment" id="kwm_comment" style="width: 400px; height: 80px;"></textarea>							<input type="image" src="https://www.kingwebtools.com/americanpearl/feedback_system/images/submit-rev.jpg" name="submit" style="margin-left: 10px;">						</td>					</tr>				</table>				<input type="hidden" id="item_name" name="item_name" value="">				<input type="hidden" id="kwm_item_id" name="kwm_item_id" value="75x8mmcolqua">				<br>			</form></div></td></tr></table></div><scr' + 'ipt type=text/javascript>document.getElementById(\'mini_review\').innerHTML = \'<div style="float: left; width: 80px; height: 16px; background-image: url(https://www.kingwebtools.com/americanpearl/feedback_system/images/image-matrix2.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position-x: 0px; background-position-y: 0px;"><div style="width: 80px; height: 16px; background-image: url(https://www.kingwebtools.com/americanpearl/feedback_system/images/image-matrix2.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px -160px;"></div></div><div class="average-review-text">(5 Reviews) <a href="#reviewwrapper" class="kwm_fancybox_reviews">Read Reviews</a></div>\';</scr' + 'ipt>');document.getElementById('kwm-sr').style.display = 'none';
