This was my second purchase from HinsonGayle and I was blown away by the luster of these pearls. The pitcure does NOT do the pearls justice. Take them out into the sunlight and the color is amazing. I purchased these as a gift for my wife and she couldn't wait to wear them. As usual, thet arrived on time and packaged beautifly. I needed to contact them directly and asked that they call at a certain time so my wife wouldn't answer the phone "as she usually does" and they called at the time requested. Customer service is absolutly five star!! Will be making my next purchase very soon. At this rate, my wife will own the entire Artisan collection by the end of the year!!!
