i have just found this pearl necklace in a wooden chest belonging to my great grand mother. they are real basra pearls. i do not have the certificate but they are real pearls. i would like to know its approximate fair value and what is the process to get the best deal.
in continuation with my thread, i searched for the report but could not find the same. can someone provide me address and contact no. of labs in india who conducts testing of pearls. i called up GIA , mumbai but they said pearls are tested only in bangkok and usa, both beyond means to send.
the paper work is not at all involved as i am getting a buyer in mumbai itself.....also..the length of 8 largest pearls (all of about similar sizes) put together is 67.4 mm. for me measuring individual pearl is a tough task as accurate reading will not be possible without accurate tools
the total combined measurement of the eight largest pearls , situated at the centre of the necklace, is 67.4 mm. ( calculated by using a measuring scale). it is difficult to measure one pearl at a time.
hi..i have this necklace which forms part of my family heirloom. there are 59 pearls (all certified to be natural basra pearls) weighing 150 carat in total. i want to know its value and how to get it valued. this is in mumbai, india..please help
