the pearls come from Lombok, so you would get a better range to choose from.
Put a cigarette lighter briefly under the pearls and if don't melt they are genuine.
Cheap in Bali so price would not be more in Lombok...you talk price with them anyway.You wouldn't pay more than 50 000 for a good full string.
30 000 for the 3 strand with gaps.
Hopefully freo girl reads this as she lived in Lombok and knew about the pearls.Knows far more than me.
