Translation: Hi! What is a mineral oil bath that you do on pearls? Thank you very much. Credo che il suggerimento sia quello di immergere le perle in olio minerale nella speranza che possa in qualche modo aiutare. L'olio non riparerà la madreperla, ma forse potrebbe migliorarne un po'...

Unfortunately we can't tell you anything more about your pearls from your photos and family history. Ther are limits to what can be determined on an online forum. The best thing would be for you to send the pearls to a lab that can test and certify them, and then to an appraiser for an...

Ho risposto anche al tuo messaggio diretto. I also answered your direct message.

Sì, in qualsiasi momento! Yes, any time!

You will not always want to wear the pendant and studs together, and higher luster is always preferable to lower luster! I don't think the difference in luster will be a problem as there is distance between the earrings and the pendant-- they are not worn side by side.

Penso che tutti gli amanti delle perle vorrebbero possedere perle naturali risalenti a prima del 1900! ;) I think all pearl lovers would like to own natural pearls from before 1900! ;)

Mi dispiace, ma anche quelle sembrano perle d'acqua dolce. Purtroppo non è insolito che i venditori screditino le perle d'acqua dolce economiche con quelle d'acqua salata, più pregiate. :( I'm sorry but those also look like freshwater pearls. Unfortunately it is not unusual for sellers to...

Sono le perle d'acqua dolce della foto precedente? Those are the freshwater pearls from the previous photo?

If you ever want to restring the pearls yourself, I have written instructions with photos. You will need to use a translator tool to read them, but the photos will help. Se mai volessi infilare le perle da sola, ho scritto delle istruzioni con foto. Dovresti usare un traduttore per leggerle, ma...

Anche queste sono perle barocche d'acqua dolce provenienti dalla Cina. Those are also baroque freshwater pearls from China.

Get the higher luster ones by all means! I'm surprised they cost less than the A+ with only a 0.5mm difference in size.

Sì, mostraci le foto dell'altra collana. Raccontaci anche tutto quello che sai al riguardo. Ci aiuta a capire che tipo di perle sono. "Pomeriggio" è una parola nuova per me. La mia famiglia ha detto "il dopopranzo". Ma per lo più parlavano in rovignese.

Prego. :) I miei genitori arrivarono dall'Italia nel 1951. Venivano da Rovigno-- facevano parte della diaspora istriana. L'italiano è stata la mia prima lingua, ma ora devo usare Google Translate!

They would not be as old as that. They could be 20-25 years old but pearls like these are being sold today. The color is permanent. This kind of pearl is quite common; the price of such pearls is not very high. The important thing is that you like them! Non saranno così vecchie. Potrebbero...

These are cultured freshwater pearls from China. The gold colored ones are dyed. These will be very durable. Enjoy wearing them! :) Queste sono perle d'acqua dolce coltivate provenienti dalla Cina. Quelle color oro sono tinte. Saranno molto resistenti. :)

As an aside on the A1 pearls I saw, I had brought my then-new Freshadamas (PP's highest end non-bead nucleated FWP) to compare. The luster of the A1s was similar to that of the Freshadamas.

At Bailey Banks & Biddle I saw Miki A1 grade pearls (which was the grade lower than A). Don't know if they are now called A-.

The pearls in photo #1 and #4 look exactly like baroque cultured freshwater pearls from China. Could you be mistaken about the source of these?

They don't look like any SSP I've ever seen, and the size also makes it more likely they are FWP. The clasp is an ordinary fishhook style clasp still being used today.

Those are baroque freshwater pearls. Baroque freshwater pearls are the most common pearls; their value is low compared to other pearls, but they are all nacre and are very durable. Given that the pearls are inexpensive and the clasp is apparently base metal, I think it's safe to assume those...
