I paid used freshwater $... The seller did have the 10mm & "genuine" pearls...but I loved, loved the color. Hate the white string...I'll use Mist. Don't know if I will change the clasp.. it is fine. It is gold filled...but I have so many where the clasp quality doesn't match the pearl...

I have landed on the big hook or toggle.... I love a toggle, but they do seem to be out of style & they are so different from the typical pearl clasp...I don't know if she would even consider it...we will see. But the big hook is 25mm which adds an 1" so less pearls to match too!

17"long. ...my phone...so horrible on days & my eyes are just as bad! I am attaching the sellers photos...again I bought on color. The seller took much better photos! That silvery blue...& It is that way in person! (Was listed as 10mm...somehow ignored that??) ..I think I saw the color...

I am adding this "mermaid pearl"... & paperwork as an example of ones that might be sold in small shops or hotels. Still could be great pearls (I haven't looked closely)... Just finding out anything about the company might be impossible.

I am thinking the long hook similar to BWeaves. Matching her 15" is going to be hard! But she wants it like she remembers it...but longer. & easy catch..the hook is almost 1" long...so less pearls of the right color & size. If I have the right color but not the right size...I am hoping I...

I am not exactly sure what a pinch clasp is. She hates the fiddly traditional fish hook clasps & even the "one touch" bean with a tiny poke in pin. I am so happy to do this for her... It has been years since she wore it...somehow we never talked about my restringing skills??? But I...

First I thought these would be lots smaller. (these are over 9-10mm)..but I was buying by the color...which is Not showing up...a blue grey with variations (which also isn't showing)...that makes my heart sing! I suspect they are dyed freshwater...but I was hoping saltwater when I saw them in...

That purple is lovely!!!! Nice job! Love that I can be part of something that passes on how to make pretties!!!

Having had to make a number of insurance claims...because of moves...the only thing is to have a photo..replacement value is less than $200 and I only declare anything over $1000 separately.... Insurance uses eBay solds/listed as a replacement value...but gives you the bottom end... Pearls are...

Well that clasp is signed! Looks like a WMn? or uWM?. There is something on the rim too. But I don't think that is the original Japanese clasp that would have been in the box. It could have been changed when it was restrung or it could be a different pearl strand. The box clasp would have...

Super interesting!!! Was just talking to my husband about how to date his mother's pearls...both older & newer ones... based on pearl technology. As I think about this... I see more people wanting whiter pearls as the staple strand. Yet...white looks horrible on me...so there will always be...

Hmm...it seems as though many pearl jewelers marked their boxes...even if they were a small company. (You can get that done today as well.). It looks like a pearl necklace... Akoya (as long as it is real) from Japan in the 1950's-70's...I can't remember the Japanese name for the graduated...

Not Mikimoto...but that bag might have contained a small Mikimoto pendant necklace? Nice! European gold mark, so maybe a european maker? I would take it to a local jeweler to see what kind of stones those are in the pendant. Those are freshwater in the pendant so Not older than the 1990's...

Neat! More photos when you get it! I can tell it is on a 925 sterling bail. Possibly with a maker?

I don't actually know the mark...but it is a company that sells clasps... not a jewelry designer nor pearl designer.

I love, love all the blue!!!!! I found my favorite shape & color....for the moment!

I am with Pearl Dreams...look, look, look! I thought I wanted big...then I realized I loved an interesting shape over round huge. ...You might even find a round huge lustrous that is second hand...(High end consignment!).....but a super interesting one of a kind beauty...that I would save up for!

Show me your easy clasps. This is for elderly, but it needs to good!

That is what I am concerned about. I find they are harder than I want them to be.

That is the type I was thinking of.
