Hi there!
I purchased this vintage pink pearl necklace at a flea market, the seller said they thought they were real pearls but I’m skeptical of course. I don’t know much about pearls, so I’m wondering if anyone here could confirm.
From what I’ve read, pink pearls are either fake or cultured, and these ones have a lot of qualities of real pearls - They are not uniform in shape, they are reflective with slight variations in colour, cold to the touch, slightly gritty surface, they are also 14K gold filled. The last photo shows a suspiciously round marking, maybe a tell that it was coated?
Please let me know any of your thoughts, or if there’s any other info I can provide. Thanks so much for your help!
