| Thank you for your help.
I did indeed purchase these from a woman on the 5th floor called Jane.
I want to hope these are truely akoya pearls, and as I said they do not seem to vary in color at the drill hole and I can never really tell about nacre other than the luminescence of the pearl.
I feel the drill hole to be sure there is no cracking or peeling but other than that, is there another way I can tell?
These pearls sold for $900 for a 20 inch strand and I brought a 14kt diamond white gold clasp from home to have it strung on.
Any idea if this is good value for such a strand? I know I need to get my camera to work. The pearls are all very round but while looking on the web, I saw that QVC or somesuch place was offering what looked like my pearls for about $300.
Can that be so?
Thanks for any help. |
