Maybe. Try shining a pen light at it and see how translucent it is and if there are patterns. It also looks like it could be sugilite. Look at the bottom and see if there is a post drilled into the pearl besides having prongs. Prongs-only could suggest that it's a quahog pearl.

Adventures in knotting! ;)

Thanks for including us in the journey. I think the natural white look better against my skin - they pop and the pinked pearls don't. Mind you, they look good, just not as good. Skin tone matters. I will treasure my PP NWH pearls for the rest of my life and pass them on to be enjoyed by the next...

Yes, and beautiful!

Bweaves is right. Madama is the highest grade of natural color blue akoya pearls. I haven't heard that it encompasses gray. The key is to purchase pearls that make you happy and not worry about terms. Whether you are getting value for the price is something to be concerned about.

I love it! You should be wearing it at every opportunity. Jeans or shorts and a white scoop-neck t-shirt would be perfect for summer.

Can you use your old phone just for photos? I use an old cell phone to take good pearl photos because it's much better than the two phones that followed it. And I'm about to switch to a third. I stopped buying high-end phones because the cost is too high, but they do wear out or break.

Yes, love them all!

You should give them to a young lady in your family or to a friend. They aren't worth a lot of money, but someone will enjoy wearing them. :)

Lovely. Sigh. Big glittery sigh of appreciation. :)

Fabulous in every way! I would have trouble choosing which one to wear. :)

You aren't kidding about that stamp! LOL. Congratulations and have fun playing with your haul. :)

Wow, those are amazing! Rest easy about the knots. They can put beveled edges on the central pearls to make them curve better and the knots fit just out of view.

I agree with Pattye and Pearl Dreams. You might be better off buying. If you found a good deal with a reliable seller, would your wife object?

They are bad, even though they are the shape and size you want. Are they even real cultured pearls, I wonder? I would return them. You could have much better for the money. Good luck. :)

I'm so happy you found us. We get to see your pearl journey all at once. What a treat! Everything is enchanting. Welcome to PG! Blaire

That IS lovely!

Dazzling work! Let me second the ear shot request.

Steve, they are perfect! Hugs.

Thank you. Believe it or not, I did not find the pearls in the safe deposit box. They are hidden somewhere in my home. Too hidden. I had already been looking for the keys just about everywhere, but I haven't found the pearls or the keys. I did find other items I had been missing. Clearly, I have...
