Hi, sorry if this is not allowed or in the wrong place but I wondered if anyone could advise the best place to list my beautiful Kamoka harvest pearl bracelet as I am looking to sell it. I just don’t have enough occasion to wear it and it could go to a home where the wearer will get years of...
Very interesting topic, excellent explanations. Like Katbran, I would have been tempted by the strand on the left as the colours look wonderful. Best stick with trusted vendors and pay the price for peace of mind.
Could I ask about Vietnamese natural akoya? how are these different to Japanese...
I love akoya pearls so I am with you. My first ever pearls was an akoya 3 strand bracelet which is now considered vintage! I have a beautiful strand too. I love the texture of them and the lustre too, they are very classy and I really really want a blue akoya strand!

Thank you everyone, I am delighted with it of course. I loved the Sea and Sand bracelet too, the colours are iridescent. I think the clasp on my bracelet just brings the whole feel of the harvest pearls theme together. I simply adore the chocolate one and the cream one next to it is just cheeky...
So my lovely bracelet circa 1980 with 9ct gold, garnet and seed pearl clasp broke a couple of months back. Now restrung, it is back to its former beauty and it has been confirmed as being Akoya pearls, Japanese I should think from the age of the piece.
Here it is before and after:
