Craig, I insisted that you return the pearls to me for a full refund. I see you have declined my offer and decided to keep the pearls. Does this mean that you are actually not so unhappy with them and especially at that price? Check my ratings - I don't see anyone else who is unhappy about them and if so, I reiterate .... "If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase, I will refund you in full"
