Unfortunately seller isn’t familiar… can’t be returned:(.

Hmm thanks for raising that up. It’s pair with a big 14k clasp. I zoomed in on another side, some appeared to be slightly baroque shaped with variations. What do you think of the close up? And thank you plenty for your feedback 🙏

Surely a short lived brand. I got one cluster strand by the same Iridesse brand and they are so beautiful in person.

The seller has such blurry pictures. These look like vintage baby Akoya for me, but the shine in pictures can be deceiving in my experience. Baby Akoya is harder to come across nowadays… hence I think I’ll jump the gun if this cluster necklace is baby Akoya. What do you think?

Does anyone here familiar with Iridesse by Tiffany and Co? I think this might be from them but I have seen similar clasp on other brands like Ross Simmon too. Had anyone seen this design from Iredesse? The pink stones are quartz. Million thanks 🙏☺️

That’s true! I find the pink tone akoya reflects nicely on the complexion.

Oh that’s so interesting. I’ve only known keshi as non-nuclear pearls, didn’t know they have multiple harvests. Does the first or second harvest effects/relfects the quality of keshi pearls do you think? Also thank you kindly for taking the time to response and show me the difference. It is...

Some of my beloved pearl pieces. It all started with a pair of pearl and aquamarine earrings, along with a matching pendant, gifted to me by my mom over ten years ago. I still wear the earrings regularly. That small gesture sparked my curiosity, and over the years, I’ve slowly built a modest...

Since I already made mistaken FW pearls with Akoya previous, I’m trying to train my eyes as best to avoid the same mistakes. But some of them are tricky, below are 2 different strands, I thought the roundness and luster could be Akoya, but depends on the angles it could look like eggshape too...

Oh that’s great! Thank you! Because of the colors I thought they might be dyed FW.

I’m new on Tahiti an debating between these 2 strands. First glance I thought it was Tahiti, then the more I look the less I’m sure. What do you think? Tahiti/ Dyed FW? 🙏😊

It’s true these certainly looks like FW, especially paired with a sterling clasp. The clasp is accented with 18k and diamonds so I wonder which line would this particular design would fall into. Thank you for your lovely comments. It’s interesting to learn more about this brand.

It’s true. There are so much knowledge to learn. The last thing I want is to pay for an akoya price on a FW, no matter how pretty and well matched they are.

They look like SS to me. These clasps I see a lot from sellers selling pearls from Japan, very common even with more expensive varieties, especially the modern strand.
