Hi Feng,

I like your freshwater cultured pearl strands and suspect the pendant of being a shell pearl. You will hopefully wear them and enjoy them. Valuing Chinese freshwater cultured pearls in the current market is tricky business because they are not fully recognized for what they really are. Currently one can build up a wonderful wardrobe of Chinese freshwater cultured pearls of outstanding and lasting quality for very little money. I do not think that this situation will last. This is a point in time where one should be on the buying end of the market rather than the selling end. Also, please note that the value of your pearls can differ greatly depending on where you are. I would not sell them if I were you and thus the question of value is irrelevant. If you think you have to sell them, please consider that the prices for second-hand cultured pearls are so low that you might as well keep them until Chinese freshwater cultured pearls have earned the position in the jewelry market they deserve.
