OK, here are pictures of the clasp, and also that flat pearl. Good eye, Caitlin that "flat" pearl is the one pearl that has nacre missing, and you can see what I assume to be the bead that the pearl formed on. I also have a shot where you can really see the different shapes of some of the pearls, and compare the sizes. I also realize that it is a Matinee length and not an opera. Oh well, there is no opera here. Everything looks a little yellow because of bad lighting. I love it no matter what, and figure if itʻs gone this long (at least how long - 40 years?) with only one pearl going bad, (I think) that I will be able to put it on my daughters as well!
