Thanks everyone! The seller did end up sending me two photos of the back of the clasp but I still didn’t pay because I’m a bit uncomfortable. I sent an email to Mikimoto and tried their customer service line but nobody picked up; I probably called too late/after hours so I’ll have to try again!
Oh wow, THANK YOU for the amazing information and attached... the details. The size of the clasp on this one compared to yours is extremely different. I’m feeling very uneasy about this. I guess good thing I haven’t paid?
I am also feeling uneasy because I asked the seller to send me in focus...
Thank you so much Pearl Dreams! I am trying to desperately convince myself that maybe the clasp says 750 and not 14K... I’ve asked the seller for a better photo of the hallmark on the back to calm my fears
I was super excited to win the auction for these seemingly beautiful Mikimoto vintage pearls with a gold clasp and mini pearl on the clasp. The clasp has the M hallmark but says “14K” which after much research, could indicate that these Mikis are fake.
I haven’t paid yet but I’m totally gutted...
