Any thoughts about GIA distance classes? Are they beneficial to take as a consumer or is that overkill? Interesting to take just for fun or too business-specific?

I hate to say it, but the problem with buying pearls online is that you never know what you're going to get.

In your opinion, is it safe to buy from an established pearl specialist like mikimoto online or do you really have to inspect them in a store to be certain they're the real deal?

Also, what's a typical markup like on a 16 inch strand of A/A+ 7X 6.5mm pearls?

I just wanted to say thanks to Johnny for setting up this gem deal. You've been a font of cool info here for a while now and this really tops it.
