Welcome to Pearl Oasis Ebay Store
I'm Sunny Chen, owner and designer. Thank you for visiting Pearl Oasis Ebay store. Our catalog offers outstanding prices for beautiful pearl jewelry and I hope you will spend some time browsing our catalog items. From our web site www.pearloasis.com, we have much information about how pearls are cultured, the history of pearl jewelry and how to best care for your pearl jewelry. We want you to learn how unique and wonderful pearls are compared to other gems. Please feel free to e-mail or phone me with your questions about our jewelry and general questions about pearls.
Our business is licensed in Alexandria, Virginia USA. I began Pearl Oasis in 1997. Prior to opening Pearl Oasis, I owned jewelry stores in Georgetown and downtown Washington DC USA.
We have been praised by our customers for the excellent quality of our items and their outstanding price. Our customers also have complemented us on our speedy delivery. Don't take our word for this. Read some of the comments we have received at Ebay from winners of our auctions.
When you decide to buy ...
Some customers have wondered how our prices can be so low. We are a direct importer of loose pearls from China and Japan. We sell only through the Internet. That lets us keep our overhead very low. Final, we have developed proprietary computer programs to automatically handle much of the order fulfillment. That cuts our costs even more. That's why we have the best values you'll find anywhere.
When you place an order, your information is kept secure. We will never share or sell it. When you pay by credit card using our secure server, you can rest assured that the information will be safe. Our server is own, and operated by us and is physically located at our place of business. In addition to industry standards for secure servers, we have adopted best practice security for your payment information. When we access your information for invoicing, we access it through a secure server too. Many sites on the Internet offer secure servers for payment but then access your information over insecure connection. That defeats the security.
Some Internet jewelry sellers don't tell you the complete truth about pearl jewelry. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping.
There is no standard grading system for pearls. Each pearl farm, wholesaler, and retailer has their own grading system. That makes comparison shopping for pearls very difficult.
The phrase Biwa pearls can only be used for freshwater pearls taken from lakes and rivers of Japan (according to the Federal Trade Commission, USA). Some Internet sites call Chinese freshwater pearls, Biwa Pearls. In our opinion, that is deceptive. Here at Pearl Oasis we don't use the word Biwa unless the pearls are freshwater pearls taken from lakes or rivers of Japan.
The Federal Trade Commission, USA requires any pearl produced from a nucleus (usually a sphere of calcareous mollusk shell) planted by humans inside the shell or in the mantle of a mollusk and coated with nacre by the mollusk to be call a cultured pearl. Some Internet sites call freshwater pearls from China, cultured pearls. That meets the letter of the law, but we think that is misleading. Most buyers associate cultured pearls with saltwater cultured pearls produced by the Akoya oyster. These saltwater oysters produce true round pearls of superior luster compared to freshwater cultured pearls. Here at Pearl Oasis we will always tell you if the pearls are freshwater or saltwater cultured pearls and we will tell you if they are from Chinese or Japanese farms.
