Hello, I have a couple quick questions about this pair of pearl earrings I'm selling on ebay, I'm a little lost but I think I came to the right place

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Mikimoto-Blu...QQcmdZViewItem

Could someone tell me if these are freshwater or saltwater, would I have to get them appraised to know for sure? [[I do understand they are not the highest Mikimoto..]] I have several watchers so I'm pretty sure I'm not asking too much for them? anything anybody could offer would be most appreciated!!! I'm having some troubles when trying to research this brand

thanks so much!

Hi Zaya,

I am reasonably sure these are saltwater Akoya pearls. I think that is probably a good starting price; likely the person who purchased them paid a good deal more. They look nicely matched with good lustre. Good luck with the auction!

so many pearls, so little time

They would be akoya, so saltwater.
