The Perfect Buddha is a direct importer of cultured pearls and fine
jewelry from China. Owner Kevin Keating combines his love of Chinese
culture, history, and art with business to bring the jewels of the
Pacific to you at affordable prices. Keating, an Alexandria
businessman, earned an undergraduate degree in both Chinese history and
Chinese language from the United States Military Academy (1982) and most
recently graduated with a Master’s in International Public Policy from
Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS,
2002).
Keating has been a frequent traveler to South Asia where he has
cultivated business relationships with the finest jewelers and pearl
growers in China. This direct access enables The Perfect Buddha to offer
high quality pearls and other imported jewelry at prices significantly
lower than their equivalents would sell for in traditional
stores. A Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certified
gemologist has examined the Perfect Buddha’s inventory, using GIA
standard appraisal factors that include color, size, nacre, luster, and
shape. In every instance, The Perfect Buddha jewelry has been
appraised for significantly more than our selling price.
