I inherited these from my grandmother. They were purchased in the 1990’s from Hardy Brothers. Could someone please confirm if they are Akoya or freshwater baroque pearls. They were quite expensive when purchased but I think the price of pearls has probably dropped since then!

On these baroque ones, see those little tails? You don't see that on freshwater pearls. In this case, also the lustre is a bit of a give away too. I am a bit surprised that Hardy Brothers carried pearls with so much character.

Yes I thought they were a bit low quality for Hardy Brothers but still have the receipt so definitely purchased there.
