Hi! It’s been forever but I thought I’d do a final update on the mystery strand of pearls. I finally sent them to GIA a year ago and they came back as cultured. Not disappointed at all about this; I was able to restring them and took a good look at the drill holes. The nacre is thick so I think...

those blues are astonishing!

I have and it's all so wonderful! Great seeing you Douglas!

I'm very grateful for PG, even if I don't have a lot of time to check in these days! It's such a beautiful community here :)

I'm finally going to do it: I'm sending my mystery art deco pearl strand to GIA... fingers crossed for a definitive answer!

For you, Pattye! :)

Maaaaayyyyyybbbbeeeeee. If I remember, I'll share on Easter :o

One of the Little h necklaces that I adore is on sale, not this time... because I purchased something else at twist ;)

wow that luster is incredible!

Concur with PD and Pattye - they look like imitation pearls to me (I've got a few strands too)
