Thank you again for your time I do appreciate you helping me on this one. They are 7.5-8mm, so not quite that big unfortunately:p I have yet to see akoyas larger than 8.7mm so far… :) However the only baroque akoyas I’ve seen were small so I guess they had thinner nacre. They were gorgeous though.

Thank you so much for your response. I handle a lot a lot of akoyas and the luster on these is very different than any I’ve seen, is there a reason the luster would be different, treatment perhaps? I think I see it now, the baroqueness is maybe paired with the larger size is what is unusual too...

Unknown for certain. Would like the expert opinions :) indoor and outdoor lighting

Surprising. Thank you.

Initially thought they were just dyed but after handling a couple strands I just wanted to be sure. Any tips on how you came to conclusion also would be appreciated They are about 8.5mm

Thank you for this tip!! I appreciate it

Thank you all! I have sent two Jewelry items to Gia with unfortunate results and why I asked here first! I will try once more :-p

I’ve been holding on to this ring for awhile and would like to sell it. From my observations it looks to be a natural saltwater pearl with unknown origin. My question is would it be worth it to get it checked out in a lab, would that significantly add to the value? Photos taken with magnification.

Very hard if not impossible to find out information (for me) on un hallmarked mikimoto. The company won’t even authenticate unless it’s hallmarked. But if you just want to know for your purposes, yes those look like mikimoto pearls and yes that clasp is gorgeous, and mikimotos style. These look...

Can we get a photo of your set up?

Lol! I just sent in a freshwater pearl - $200 later 😬 Can someone explain the candle light thing to see

I have no back story. :( How to know if natural?

I am the temporary owner of this ring. I just mean it doesn’t seem flattering enough to be set like that.

👏

My q My question is why would someone put one freshwater pearl in a ring? The pearl is kind of ugly lol

I looked here and didn’t see anything that looked similar. I think the ring is fairly old. 50 years?

Some photos have flash… set in 14k gold

Thank you!! This was so helpful

Akoya allll the way

I don’t feel like they would know what they are. I live in a very small town. Was hoping one of y’all would want them lol
