I thought it was a double-row strand. Is the close up of the first or the second strand? If it is of the first one, I think they are definitely Akoyas if you take a look at the drillhole, the nucleus is showing... thatīs what I meant when determining the nacre thickness, you can tell if they are unstrung or as here, the hole is "free". I am very puzzled about the colour though.
In theory they could be Tahitians but I donīt think so. They are so round and the nacre looks just too thin. What size are the pearls?
