    Welcome kanoe81,
    What a fun find. The pearls appear to be fresh waters. The stones could be peridot or lemon quartz chips. Metal looks like silver and copper or possibly base metals. Interesting way of attaching the pearls and stones to the chain. Is it with wire or cord?

    Hi,

    I am thinking freshwater pearls and peridot as well. It would not have any value as such, other than if you like it and want to wear it.

    BUT BUT BUT!!!!!! What a cosmic find. A gift from the sea. That can't be matched. Those pearls would have dissolved, if left long enough. As it is, they are quite shiny!

    A mermaid left it to be given to you!!!!

    Every great piece of jewelry has a Story! They call it "provenance". A Gift of the Sea can't be beaten.
