I really love the carabiner look, gives the pearls a nice edge.

If you consider buying them, you should then compare the price to other dyed freshwater, considering shape and luster, not Tahitians. And if you don't love them, don't buy them.

You could have the goal to make a 100" rope, mixing the pearls up in size and quality :-)

You could probably use some of the lesser pearl at the back of a nice strand - either app the same size or lightly graduated.

You won't be able to find any information. Search for fish hook clasp and see how many hits you get. It is extremely common.

That is a generic clasp So many necklaces has this kind of hook clasp.

You are also supposed to be able to tell with a loup. Contrary to the tooth test, genuine pearls should look smooth.

I was lurking for parts of it, as I often do. It's around my evening reading and bed time so I am on and off. Impossible not to have sweet dreams when the last thing you see before you turn off is pearls :-)

You might want to consider pre-loved pearls since pearls don't hold their value well.

I am thinking that you will want the pearls to pop. If it is possible for you to either buy both and return the pair that doesn't or try pearls someplace else, that would be the best. I have fair skin with a reddish tone to it and white pearls have more contrast so they show up more clearly...

That looks like another bead, not a pearl.

The golden rule: if it looks too good to be true, it usually is. In this case, I would not shop anywhere that has something in abundance that established pearl dealers don't. Reviews can be purchased.

Be aware of gem stone beads with sharp edges that can cut through a thread. You may need wire.

Maybe you are just a 'different kind' of pearl person. There is so much variety in shapes and colors. If you hang around this forum, you will see so much more than large, white pearls.

I contacted him on Instagram because of his post and customers here. I asked him if he could find me a natural Akoya strand that hadn't been pinked and he did. The price was very reasonable. I haven't purchased South Sea Pearls from him but I think he can supply pretty much anything. You could...

You might want to check with a seller like Cees, om Instagram, who is known here, has a good reputation and ships out of both the EU and US.

People generally think pearls are valuable and generally they are not - something you don't realize until you start learning about them. Even if they were real pearls they probably wouldn't be worth a fraction of what she thinks.

The luster looks really low if they are Akoya. I would expect to see some fairly clear reflections even with the 'dead' background.

I love the look on the side! But it's what your mom means that matters. It's her pearls :-)

Hard to focus on the pearls on the guy, though :-D
