Aloha, My husband bought these for me a couple of years ago. They are from a local estate and the owner was quite wealthy and traveled around a lot. (Who owned them is not in question). Donʻt know anything else except the clasp looks deco to me. They are probably from 5mm to about 8mm (7?). Itʻs Opera lenth (about 21 inches) The color is slightly ivory/yellow, but I think it has lustre. The shapes are not perfect and I tried to show some of the different shapes. There is one pearl that has nacre missing at the hole. I tried to shoot it, but itʻs a little blurry (last photo). The strand needs to be restrung, since the one side of the clasp came off. Looking for info, even though I love it no matter what. I love to wear it with a black top, and Tahitians in my ears. Thanks for looking!
