The piece on the right looks like a "blister pearl", sometimes they can grow in groups, can you post some additional photos using a white fabric or white paper towel behind the pearls with good lighting and NOT using the camera flash, that way we can see the orient or luster on the pearls to...

Mashery, can you post us a photo of the pearls? We don't know what question you are asking either. Makes it a little hard to answer, so while we are waiting, let's play jeopardy. Sea Urchin you can start. Here's your answer: Baroque Daddys Little Pearl also ROFL but that's nothing new either.

Yiling, good price! Those are great pearls for projects too, although if you have to do knotting you will be at it for a good long time. I am not new to jewelry, but relatively new to being a "pearl addict" , and we all keep learning, everyone here has something to share! If you don't have...

Am I missing something here? Daddys Little Pearl

Yiling, in reference to the two photos of the group of tiny pearls, there is no need to grab up all they had, these are very common and inexpensive to buy at bead shows and also on the internet. No one is selling any "rare" pearls by huge hanks in large quantities, rare pearls are sold either...

Thanks for all the informative photos and your pearl harvest is BEAUTIFUL. I would love to own even one of those pearls, you should be very proud. Please keep sending photos ! Daddys Little Pearl

Pearl Lady, my advice is to forget all the "categories" of pearls, what you want is a HIGH quality pearl that goes well with your wedding dress, it matters not whether it is Akoya, Freshadama,Tahitian, South Set; all meaningless unless it is a high quality pearl. It is the quality that makes...

My guess is that if the seller has a wonderful feedback rating, you will get genuine pearls in all likelihood, but they will not be of good quality for that price. Make sure they don't have a high sihpping fee to make up for the cheap prices. Given your budget, this is a way to start, but some...

Scannon, yes, photos please! Show us your treasures, they sound wonderful! Daddys Little Pearl

Lucky you, I love these old pearls, but never found any this cheap! Are the clasps marked Japan? A lot of mine are. Would love to know the history of why these are called 3.5 momme, I do know the momme is a weight, but I see these graduated strands a lot and even in the ones I own some are...

Have you considered having the strand lengthened? I would think PP could probably match them pretty good and then you could wear and enjoy them again. Just a thought. Daddys Little Pearl

Happy, thanks for the Fay Cullen link, her necklace is very much like mine, similar pearls, similar clasp. I had never heard of this internet store before. Still does not answer the initials on the clasp, but you have turned up the closest thing so far, THANKS! Daddys Little Pearl

The initials S M is definitely a possiblity. Will check out the links to these last two, thanks! Daddys Little Pearl

Great looking ring! I am not qualitifed enough to tell you much about the pearl, but the ring itself is a treasure. I think I can see a 925 mark inside? That is sterling silver. That would rule out European in most cases as older European pieces were hallmarked or had the 800 silver mark, and...

There is a seller on Ruby Lane that specializes in Mikimoto pearls, not cheap but a beautiful and huge selection, you might go to that site www.rubylane.com and put Mikimoto in the search box and pull up her shop, you can contact her from one of her item pages,sometimes dealers that specialize...

OK I may sound really dumb here, but how did they get all those to be such a uniform shape? I know how they got the color (bought the rejects from the dye plant), but those are ridiculously uniform, and I am baffled how they did this? They look too thick to be keshi, but almost too thin to be...

Thanks, I knew they are definitely cultured pearls, too well matched for anything else, the pearls size is approx 2.75mm or a little smaller, nice ivory white, they are probably a little rounder than the photo makes them look. What has me so curious is that hours of googling can not turn up...

OK you asked fore more! Just bought this strand of Majorica, huge size, obviously meant to imitate South Sea size I guess, great color, fabulous clasp with the metal built onto the faux pearl. Enjoy Daddys Little Pearl Antiques Jewelry & Sacred Treasures

P.S, assuming the M is an M, it could be two initial merging together on the hang tag Daddys Little Pearl

Lovely pearl necklace just bought from a fine jewelry antique dealer, They are cultured pearls, well matched, nice luster, beautifully woven, 14K marked white gold clasp, and with a small hang tag with only the initial M in script, with the left side of the M done with a flourish. No other...
