| Hi Sandi - I just have to confer on this.
Your strand has obviously been much loved - I agree - I would have them restrung (not an expensive process) and wear them with pride! I sell pearls at retail level, mostly freshwaters, but I also sell some simulated shell pearls (also called Majorca, many other names). Women love to wear them, and yes, I often hear them referred to as "travelling" pearls - ie, don't take your expensive ones with you when you travel! Yours sound very special, and worthy of continued wear!
PS - this forum will teach you all you have ever wanted to learn about pearls, and more as well - hope you stay around! |
