| I HAVE a strand like the top one and I like it quite a bit. It reminds me of silver dragees one used to find on Christmas cookies and cakes.... It was touted as Tahitian pearls though, I bought it anyway as it was cheap (eBay, before I found this forum).
On the topic of Tahitians, I went to an estate auction this past weekend where there was an 18" necklace of round Tahitians 8mm-10mm. Unfortunately it had a .5c diamond clasp and by the time it came up, the audience had dispersed. I offered a low amount to start but the auctioneer said he wouldn't take less than $7,000. |
