Hi Karen,

If they really are 10mm and over, they are South Sea PPBs. If they are 9.5-10mm there is a chance that they may be akoyas, but even in A grade (blemished and dull), they would have cost over US$60,000.00 for Mikimoto brand.

Edit:

Oops, the over US$ 60,000.00 is for AA grade, a 9.5-10mm 16-inch strand in A grade cost only US$ 35,000.00
