    I have seen quite some composite rubies, but I don't see gas bubbles in this one. Frankly, I don't think it is glass-filled. BR, GemCollector

    If there are not enough images in the listing to conclude whether these are real pearls or not, you can contact the seller and request additional information and images. The way the seller communicates with you tells a lot about him and his professionalism, too. Sincerely, GemCollector

    Dear Ellen, No, they are not real. Majorica "pearls" are not pearls. The only thing they have in common with pearls is the round shape.

    Dear Melany, You can pop champagne for not bidding on this bracelet. 900 EUR is an insane price for it! An identical bracelet was sold on Catawiki for 62 EUR a few years ago, and that price is way closer to the true market value of this item.

    Dear Melany,

    You can pop champagne for not bidding on this bracelet. 900 EUR is an insane price for it! An identical bracelet was sold on Catawiki for 62 EUR a few years ago, and that price is way closer to the true market value of this item.
    As ShopperLib puts it, “Informed shopping decision = Good shopping decision” 😉
    Too bad for the highest bidder for not being well-informed…

    @Anna $27.99 + free shipping is indeed a very good price. Well noted.

    Hello! Chrome diopside is not expensive. As a matter of fact, it is pretty cheap. The estimated retail value JTV has stated here is merely a marketing ploy. It has nothing to do with the true market value of this bracelet. GemCollector
