| I would not accept any "circa" dates this seller states based on every one of the pearl auctions listed. There is nothing about any of the pieces that indicate they are vintage, yet every piece is listed as vintage. I am not familiar enough with Sea of Cortez to say that the pearl is not Sea of Cortez, but I can say that nearly every "vintage" date this seller has posted appears to be a total fabrication. Some of the Tahitian cultured pearls are even older than the industry - just like the Sea of Cortez mabe... I guess circa 1970 could be 2005 if you allow for a fudge factor. |
