Thank you for the photos @jeg !!!

Its just a shell.

They look like vintage Akoya pearls to me...the clasp seems unremarkable, one of many "findings" available some time ago.

Well, at first sight they seem to be Potatoe freshwater pearls from China...but they could also be natural baroque pearls. Did she leave any information about the pearls? Source/origin?

Pearl Paradise ALWAYS has this information on their site. Did you visit their site? Just check it and you will have the complete info!

Well, at least the Mikimoto logo looks good. Don't know if the clasp does look like a Mikimoto made clasp.

I do not see a pearl...just a shell! Maybe a better photo is required?

Yup! Nuff Said!

It looks beautiful! Welcome back @massrog

The color looks dyed. Jet black.

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

Since the pearls belonged to an Australian couple and are from some time ago, and antique dealers...there is a chance those are actually natural pearls.

Nice update dear @pattye

I agree

It is it's whole inner structure. Then, I also saw the other pearls you have...they all look like freshwater pearls. You should take the "Pearls as One" pearl course.

Not really. Everyone can do it...you just need some training. That's all! But the original photos you sent made me "see" something different. Once I saw the actual broken pearl: it was a complete giveaway.

Now that I actually see the pearls: these are freshwater non-beaded freshwater pearls.

Hi there @Rarefind That is a blister pearl...but not a particularly nice looking one.

This one looks like a blister pearl.

Looks like an Akoya cultured pearl to me, but without any additional information it is hard to say. Do you know the size?
