The coloring certainly looks like Sea of Cortez. Also it looks like a mabe to me. Did you see it in person? It appears domed and then flattens out, but of course, in person that may not be the case. Can you tell from the bottom of the ring if it has a backing? Sea of Cortez does produce mabe. So that is a good possibility---

Hi Pattye,
I don't think it is a mabe. The reflection from the gold and diamonds around it are making it look like the pearl ends and it is a mabe but I am it is not or nearly sure. I have only seen photos at the moment anyway
Glad you said you thought it maybe a Sea of Cortez pearl. It looks like it to me but I am not an expert.
I am also wondering if in the post

Blue/Silver/Grey Pearls - what type are they?
|
if it is possible that they are Cortez or Tahitians rather than Akoya. The double strand that is. They don't really look like akoya to me but I suppose they could be FW. I am very confused about them. Any thoughts on those. I wouldn't mind bidding on them but I hate not knowing what a pearl is when bidding. That leads to dissapointment later on.
Thanks for you opinions much appreciated.
