What a lovely auction stash you have there. Yes, some rice crisps and interesting stones, some lapis maybe? Agree with KarinK's first impression - a well loved and well worn vintage akoya strand.

Oh my it is beautiful and looks perfect on you.

Love looking at your pearls, Charlotta

Logged in quickly to say what a wonderful array of pearly beauties. Thank you all for sharing so generously...

Your earrings look great on you and such a lovely way to fill the void of your Mum. Perhaps you would feel better about the posts if you could replace them some white gold backs? Or even silver if you wanted the white/silver colour?

Love this thread, Charlotta

Lovely pearls as always everyone... thank you for sharing

It is a great size photo on my laptop, jeg, not too big, not too small, easy to admire it all!

No expert but I'd also say vintage akoya that would look great cleaned up and restrung on that lovely clasp - could it be jade?

Lovely to see the clasp and pearls like that, I suppose you could 'narrow down' the date to first half of the 20th Century! :)

Lovely clasps, Barbaradilek, they really do enhance the old pearls, don't they? And I think beautiful pearls 'deserve' beautiful clasps! Can't help on that square clasp, I'm afraid. Do you know what the metal is? I want to say 1940's but it is probably much older than that.

Gorgeous strand, StarryPearl. Do hope you'll share a neck shot with us...

Beautiful Pattye, and yes, I hope PT shares a neck shot with us.

Happy thread, beautiful pearls, thank you all for sharing

Marvellous, BWeaves, marvellous. If your top was white and your hair long, you could be an Edwardian lady at an afternoon tea party

So sorry to hear about the jewellery but what a special gift from your Mother. Those pearl will look beautiful cleaned and restrung and we look forward to some neck shots of your wife wearing them.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing

From 1989... I suppose they'd be considered vintage now :rolleyes:

Couldn't agree more! Thank you Jeg... And thank you everyone for sharing your pearly treasures for all of us to enjoy.
