Teeth was my first thought, too.

The white pendant could be Akoya, it appears to be nicely round. In my opinion, the black pendant is dyed freshwater, not Tahitian.

I have used Dr. Bronner's Baby Unscented Pure Liquid Castile Soap to gently clean pearls. Jewelry loupes are inexpensive, I got one on Amazon.

I agree with all of the above ... these pearls look like baroque Akoya, which would be less expensive than round Akoya.

I'm waiting to see what the experts think.

If you're looking for inexpensive gemstone beads, try Goodwill or local charity shops. You'd be surprised what people donate. You can take them apart and use what you like.

They're pretty and remind me of my grandmother's pearls. How long is the strand? Is the clasp marked in any way? My guess is that they are Akoya.

I found some interesting links with a quick search. Article from Town & Country about the jewelry in Succession: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a29464397/interview-michelle-matland-succession-jewelry/ I found an auction site for Succession. It's not unusual for...

A lot of the jewelry on television and in movies is fake, simply based on cost and security. There are so many people on a set that it's easy to lose track of things. There are exceptions, obviously -- I've heard that the diamond bracelets worn by Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard were from her...

I have purchased from Pearl Society on eBay as well and been very happy.

The necklace is striking, yet wearable. Enjoy!

Pretty, pretty pearls. I love the bracelet, and that's a great idea to make an extender.

I can attest to their social media videos. I subscribe to Kamoka on YouTube -- short videos, usually showing a single pearl being harvested. It's a brilliant strategy and addicting. I really enjoy the underwater photography as well.

I recently discovered an OPI Infinite Shine color called Pearlcore. It's nice, sheer, white with hints of pink and green.

My thoughts, too, but I adored Kenneth so I am biased.

Remember, you'll be doubling the thread.

I've seen rice krispie pearls described as keshi, if that helps.

OPI makes a color called Kyoto Pearl. I haven't used it on jewelry, though.

BWeaves, how about using the mabe omega backs as dress clips, near the neckline? Or as scarf clips?

I agree, you want your clasp to blend with the strand, unless it's Cartier level, in which case you might wear the clasp in the front, as a focal point. I think overall, you want your clasp to be secure. Lots of people buy old pearls on eBay, solely for a pretty, vintage clasp.
