I also don't see why you would pay this money, when you could get a real pearl bracelet set in Sterling Silver for similar money, and with pearls that are just as good, if not better quality. Although I don't dislike the look of some of the Honora range (but I do dislike the fact that items are set in Stainless Steel), I agree that in close-up shots many of the pearls don't look top quality at all, with some appearing pitted and out of shape. To me, a "top quality" or "top 3%" pearl would not have any nicks or pits at all, so I think these claims are misleading.
I sent a necklace back for that very reason, really ouchies! Naturally, my review received numerous 'not helpful' ticks from the QVC sycophantic sheeples for it.......! :mysmilie_467:
To be honest, I don't really get the whole Honora thing, can't really see why you would take something as pretty as a pearl & dye it in garish colours! Some of the more subtle necklaces in multi colours are quite pretty but the TSV, with its scraggy, ringed, misshapen pearl offerings just looks cheap & nasty!
If that's the 'top 3% of the pearl harvest' I'd hate to see what the remaining 97% looks like! :wonder:
