    Seeking some details about this Mikimoto Strand

    The clasp. The logo. Seems off to me. But I used the word appear due to the fact that I’m not certain, but opinion. May be because I’m use to seeing gold but something still seems off. And what that something is, is not only the clasp but the quality of these pearls do not impress me, might be...

    Antique natural wild pearls: an example and a mystery!

    I am commenting on the diamonds as I am a diamond person ;-) They are “Rose Cut” with large culet. They look to be a decent size and dates back to early 1900’s. Very special

    Three different types, what are they?

    Helllllo. This might be a rather long post, I’ve been putting it off for some time now and these pearls have been in storage waiting to be strung. Two of the the three I am going to show you I need an identification on. I have my own well formed, educated opinion and assumption, however I need...

    Never clasped Mikimoto Cultured Pearls Worth getting appraised locally?

    lol I don’t know, perhaps. I like eBay, yes. It’s the only place I use for sales due to their high volume of customers, so you get a huge audience. If you know anyone locally who could help you out selling. Someone who has a background in selling pearls so maybe like a “consignment” I believe...

    What clasp did Mikimoto use in 1970s?

    It doesn’t look like they used silk to string the pearls. I wonder if whoever did it would restring with silk? :( That is why they aren’t “hanging” properly…. I believe and from what I can see :)

    Strand of pearls--how to test if natural? I live in Delaware.

    They don’t look asymmetrical, to me. Which is the definition of “baroque”. Someone would have to examine much closer to tell you if their freshwater or not. 👍🏻 I mean they do appear to be freshwater pearls but if I cannnot tell from this photo I doubt someone else could say for certain.

    Is this worth sending to a lab?

    Nice I am so impressed with your guys’ ability to identify this over photos :) I'm sure the folks at GIA had to use equipment. Now to find a buyer 😅

    Never clasped Mikimoto Cultured Pearls Worth getting appraised locally?

    This looks very special. I can’t say for certain that it’s authentic from photos but it does look special like I said. Good luck finding someone locally that knows their pearls. 🤷‍♀️ you could probably find a buyer without the appraisal. Just take good photos and put on eBay for your asking...
