Although Ebay is one of the largest marketplaces in the world it is not noted for its ability of detecting counterfeit items and fraudsters.

I 予定 show you some examples of freshwater 安い-品質 真珠 sold as 南洋真珠 and how to spot them:

 

この ネックレス is sold as : “Huge AAA+ 12-13mm 本物の 天然 南洋 ホワイト バロック 真珠ネックレス 18” “

 

When we saw a listing like この we must be aware of a couple of things:

1°Price: 南洋真珠 aren’t abundant, and a ネックレス of この サイズ 予定 never go for less than a thousand dollars. 

2°Country of 産地: Although many serious 真珠 businesses are established in 中国 and Hong Kong SAR, it is noticeable than many of these fraudsters in Ebay are selling from 中国.

3° Shape: Although these 真珠 are バロック,their shape is too 均一の in 注文 to be 南洋真珠. 

 

この ネックレス is made with potato shape 淡水真珠 and 処理済み to have that metallic 光沢. 淡水真珠 are 美しい and many combinations can be done with them, but それら shouldn’t be sold as 本物 南洋真珠.

And そこに are thousands of listing like この on Ebay, so you must only buy from known and respectable sellers.

 

If anything is too 良好な to be true, probably isn’t.
