TRANSLATION: FIRE TEST and polishes are flying :)) How can I clean these polishes other than fire? I think they were made a long time ago and it takes a lot of time with fire and the pearl color under the polish is much more beautiful, also 11mm this pearl is a Gulf pearl I think or what are...

Happy weekend to you all!

I see it is almost 86% silver...but you cannot Carbon date a piece of jewelry like this one, unless it has shell, bone, wood, leather...organic stuff. The pearls does count for carbon dating, but this is not what you have done. Spectral analysis will not tell you the age of a piece of jewellery...

And all quite intended! 😂

How old? The style looks very 1970's to me? It definitively does not look old to my standards...500 years or more. No silver patina...I mean. And found in an old place does not mean it is from there at all! A tourist could have worn it last week, lost it there and then you simply find it.

Looks like a baroque pearl, previously used as a pendant, hence the drill hole. Ring seems to be made of silver, large setting...looks like some old style made in Taxco, Mexico.

Hi there Sam. I feel as if you are not posting with true interest, but more in a "spammy" way. Please reply with intent.

I don't know exactly what the Japanese do. I tried reaching out to one producer for information to use on our site, but to no avail. I believe it would be a special polishing agent or system. We achieved similar results with Cortez Mabe when we used aggressive polishing, but the exterior looked...

I agree with @Lagoon Island Pearls The evidence presented is mainly wishful thinking. Having the pearls examined by a lab is the only solution.

OMG! This is absolutely STUNNING Jeg!

Hello there @LorenLL That is one very nice Mabe pearl, albeit unusual looking. I really like special looking pearls. I believe the main difference amongst Mabe pearls is due to the species (of course!) but also on the processing of the pearls. Whereas some undergoe intensive processing, others...

I agree with @Pearl Dreams : the drill holes are typical of imitation pearls

Well, looks like a nice ring! Enjoy wearing it!

GORGEOUS pearls & settings! Well done!

I agree. Not a Mikimoto clasp. The pearls do look like Akoya.

Looks like a Freshwater pearl to me. But not much else from the photos. Any stories behind it?

That is what I saw as well. But the x rays are not the best. Retesting with dental xrays would be best.

The main problem is that you basically obscure the pearl behind your fingers....but the pearl looks cultured to me. Now, If you really believe it is a natural pearl: just send it over to the closest reputable gem lab (I would use SSEF in Switzerland since you are in Turkey) and have it...

Well, very likely you have cultured pearls...and not natural pearls. But if you really believe these ara natural: have them sent to a reputable gem lab such as Liechenstein, SSEF or even DANAT.
