The clasp is very beautiful!

Sure, ABreaker, I totally understand you. I also found everything on the Internet, especially when I was less experienced. Here particularly, I was drawn by the size and I wanted to discuss with all of you about them. I wasn't, however, so interested, so I passed and did not bought them...

Hello to everyone! I just passed by this necklace online. It is said those are freshwater pearls. I actually think they are man-made, but really can't be sure. Now, that annoys me, and if they are freshwaters I consider to buy them. Would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks ☺️ It is 27...

I am also considering freshwaters.

Thank you all. It is always a pleasure 😊

No, I don't see blue or purple. They are just deep gray, almost black gray. I am adding photos under the cold led light.

It is not possible to get more information than that 😀 It is a nice little postwar japanese akoya pearl necklace. It needs maintenance. If you plan to wear it, please consider washing and restringing it. With knots between each pearl (which I personally prefer, no matter how big or little the...

I also think they would look better and more sophisticated restringed with black silk and with better clasps (3 row clasp for the bracelet). So, if you have time and will for something like that, you could do it yourself (here you can find some nice tutorials), and perhaps find enjoyment :)

Hi! Both necklace and bracelet are made using freshwater pearls originating from China. I really like pearls comprising necklace. All the best!

I would also say freshwater.

I also really admire your collection Jeg.
