Please help me identify if these are real pearls & what kind

CassA · Oct 14, 2026

I have a possible pearl necklace in a Nicolette by Valmonds red velvet box & a pearl bracelet I picked up while volunteering at an op shop. I can’t make out the stamp on the necklace clasp & the bracelet doesn’t seem to have one but both items have the gritty feeling on the teeth.
Can anyone please help confirm that these are real & if possible, what type & origin.
Thanks

These are Chinese freshwater pearls. The "14/20" mark on the ball clasp indicates it's 14K gold-filled (1/20th gold by weight; 14K gold plated over base metal.)

Thank you for the information.
Can you tell me anything about the bracelet please?

I picked it up at an op shop. No box. The pearls aren’t perfect & some have little ripples & one even has like a little nipple (don’t know if you can see this from the close up I posted) & there is no marks on the clasp

Sorry I wasn't clear before; the bracelet is also freshwater pearls.

Is this a set? Does the large spring ring say 14/20 too?
