Rakuten Purchase - Pearl Watches



Picture from seller's website. The face of this watch is mother of pearl. Pretty nice.



This is nice too but the mother of pearl surface isnt as obvious.


Yippeee venture out into Japan. Although the radiation is an issues for me but i think i need to quickly buy the pearls that i like

Since i've spend so much $$$ with Yokota Pearls, I'm going easy with my wallet now by going for freshwater pearls.

Looking for multicolor ones since I've good Ak
oya pearls so to me, it makes no sense to buy white round freshwater pearls because normally they cant be as round & with that metallic overtone like Akoya.

This purchase is 2 pearl watches. One is freshwater white, the other is like tahitian pearls. I only took pictures of the white though. Order is shipped directly to me. Shipping takes abt 2days from Japan. Its really fast. Also, I like the fact that the seller enclosed 2 pcs of the pearl cloths for my purchases.

I've few other purchases where I used Tenso for forwarding services.

If possible, i do think its cheaper to ship direct because tenso charges services charges which is still considered reasonable. They also have a 14days policy for customers to park their stuffs in the warehouse. Consolidation can be done but big items like umbrellas etc cannot be combined. If you are interested, do remember to read up on their terms & conditions

I dont read Japanese but I've no issues with my order because its rather straight forward. Maybe because I know chinese and some of the Japanese words is Chinese characters, easier to guess the words? Anyway I'm glad i venture into Rakuten & shipping isnt that expensive too.

Dont have to worry abt crazy volumetric weight compared to items shipped from Europe/USA

p/s: I still have a few packages that was not updated. Need to update them too but first priority is Yokota Pearl purchases.
