Thanks Cortez. So I picked up some calipers last night and the largest pearl is just over 10mm with several 9mm flanking it. The smallest pearls measure 6.5mm near the clasp so the ruler was fairly accurate. I advised the wife about the new information and she was very pleased. It is nice to...

Thanks Cortez. Helpful. I was going off of J's necklace link he sent to me as a reference. I'll measure the pearls and if the largest is 10mm then I'll list the value as around 750 for replacement purposes. Man, who would have thought just finding the value of something would be so difficult!

Thanks Karin. I've been trying to look on ebay. There is still such variety of prices and lots of people list their item as akoya and only want 50$ for it which just has to be a scam. I'm in the process of getting some calipers tonight so that I can accurately measure the pearl sizes (I used...

I thought so. Good to give to my daughter with the imitation necklace! Thanks!

Thank you again J and pearl dreams. This came from my wife's Aunt so we weren't really sure what it was worth. It will be good to give to our youngest daughter (age 10).

Thanks J. That's helpful. I thought this one would be worth the most. OK. I'll go with around 300$ for the insurance policy add on and once we pass we can tell the kids what they are getting!

Thanks again pearl dreams. I will do that when I get home again. I did this test when I first started this process and I think all of them passed the teeth test but I will repeat it and let you know.

Thanks so much. So I looked at several akoya necklaces on the internet and it seems prices vary from anywhere from 25$ to over 300$. Do you what tells you what quality they would be or how much of an insurance value I should put on this necklace?

Hi everyone. Please help me identify some of my wife's jewelry. We have accumulated these pieces through the years from family members passing. I would like to know exactly what kind of pearls they are and an idea of value so we can add it to our jewelry insurance policy. Thank you so much...

Hi everyone. My wife was organizing her jewelry for the first time and she has accumulated several strands of pearls from various family members after they pass. I have been trying to get an idea of what exactly we have. Can you please all chime in about what these are and how much value I...
