These were gifted to me by my aunt awhile back along with a couple other strands. I know nothing about pearls. Unfortunately, my aunt has had three strokes in the past two years, so she cannot help me with provenance. Honestly, I have so much costume stuff that my mom (spohohaholic) unloads on me that I have trouble sorting through it all to find any pieces that might be worth keeping that my mom may have accidentally mixed in the lot. I end up donating the majority of it because I have no room for it. My aunt was usually different (although she started spending a lot more interestingly after retiring lol), regardless, I would just like more info to go with the pieces if possible because I don’t have as many things from her - I can make room. Thanks so much. Sorry, battery on my calipers was dead.

They are cultured freshwater pearls from China. The colors are natural. The shape, luster and size are great!
Is that 14K that I see on the clasp?
They are finished professionally, with gimp (French wire) to protect the thread where it meets the clasp.

All in all, a nice necklace!

Thank you. And Yes, 14K rose gold clasp. I noticed the French wire too. I thought that was nice.
 
Beautiful graduated strand of freshwater pearls. No nucleus like saltwater ones, but these cultured pearls display such a beautiful color and lustre. Your aunt has great taste!
