| Hi! I am so glad I stumbled across this website! I bought these pearls on eBay, but haven't received them yet. They claim to be 1930s Akoya pearls, clasp is 14k. I love the deco style clasp, and I am a sucker for the graduated look. I have wanted a pair like this for years. I actually also like the color, if it is represented accurately. Unfortuately, I did not realize that in pearls, vintage is a disadvantage. Bummer. My question is, what should I look for when I receive them? I read on here about "blinking", will this be obvious? I wouldn't mind a little color variation, but nothing extreme. Any other way to determine wear? I don't want all the nacre to be worn off. Anything glaringly obvious to you experts from the pics? Do they look accurate? I did not pay a ton for them, but a decent amount to me. I am starting to think I should just wait and buy a new freshwater pair? They only have a 3 day return policy, please help soon!!! Thanks! Oh, and the seller was a reputable (from feedback, other items) estate jewelry seller from the US. |
