Thanks everyone, for your great comments! I've learned a lot about pearls, and pearl-lovers are very cool people! :cool:

LOL, no corgis! (Used to have a toy poodle, though!) Thank you, it's good to at least have the LOOK, if in reality I remain a humble commoner! ;)

Thank you! :o

Here's the pic of them on. Just out of interest, the box says "by appointment to HM Queen Elizabeth II, Silversmiths Hardy Brothers, Limited".

Thanks, everyone! I will put them on with clasp on the side and try to take a photo. :) Teresa

Ok, will do when I get a chance! (Warning, my neck is 61 yrs old, lol!)

Thanks, everyone! I'm surprised to learn I got the type of pearl right (akoya), as I only guessed that from doing some online reading about pearls! I received them as a gift from the daughter of the original owner. She gave them to me as a treasured keepsake, and I plan to wear them proudly...

Thanks! I thought I added a post with the size, but I think they are about 6-6.5 mm as you said. I have a lousy camera, unfortunately, so the pics are not that great--but I appreciate your input very much! I will not sell them, and will consider re-stringing them. I tried looking at eBay...

I forgot to say, I think they are each about 6-7 mm. :)

Hi, I wonder if there are some experts who can help me know more about this beautiful necklace I was given recently? It belonged originally to a lady who had passed away in late 1990's at age 88. She was from eastern Europe but lived in Australia since end of WW II. It is from "Hardy bros"...
