I bought this for $500 in the Caribbean,
Royal Caribbean says if it is not what I was told that they will reimburse me because it was recommended store.
My question is how much is this worth and it has a marking in it A/C and what does this mean?
Answer: G'day Brandy and many thanks for your query.

You are going to have to take it to your local FRIENDLY jeweler/appraiser/gemologist and have them do a full written appraisal on it. This is the ONLY way you are going to know for sure, and stop guessing.
Most quality stores will give a guarantee, but I understand, as many do, you come back from overseas and wonder if you have been ripped off. Get it appraised, but you should be all right. You do have their receipt detailing all the information anyway.

The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same.
