You look lovely in them!

Welcome! What a fascinating triple strand, Ashley. Please do let us know what you find out. CindyW, welcome to the forum! We are fortunate to have members share "mystery" strands like this with unusual, beautiful clasps. Sounds like you know how to research vintage and antique jewelry.

Well done, A Breaker! Pretty toggle with good long bar, too!

The videos are helpful; first time I've heard of this company.

Welcome, MrGray, we look forward to a follow up post when you have the pearls in hand. What size are the pearls? Perhaps the seller confused the meaning of "simulated" with "cultured"? I agree with Pearl Dreams, cultured pearls.

J.Lee, what a beauty, and as you are a Miki Lover, a trained eye for sure! You have some lovely strands already!

I think if the pearls were dyed they would be a more uniform color. Like the others have mentioned, probably they will show less intense color irl. Personally I enjoy baroque pearls like this. Is there a return policy if you find they don't suit you?

Yes, thank you! Some very interesting strands and that beautiful clasp, wow! I was able to look over your strand photos last night and again today. I can see why you feel the 2 older strands could be natural. It's interesting to me that they appear to be so white. Just a little practice and...

Lol, probably best to stick to multiple washes with mild soap; what'cha gonna use to get the vaseline off the pearls? :D

There is a hinge on one side. I'd get my loupe and examine the other side to see what the release mechanism is. There may be a bar one has to push down. I'm curious, too! Gorgeous pearls! I have clasps similar with basic safety locks.

It seems the stolen jewels haven't been recovered, sadly.

Victoria, your pearls seem to have good luster, and will have some value, higher if saltwater. Are these South Sea or Akoya? My suggestion would be to see what they are selling for on Etsy.com. (Don't bother to look on Ebay.) Search for "Akoya keshi" and you'll find a range. What is the...

Lovely! Seems to have a glow ~

Leahi, thanks for sharing your experience. We look forward to hearing the breakdown. Can you share which country your pearls were shipped from?

You look terrific in this beauty, Pearl Dreams! Love how the gentle pastels glow and hold their color no matter the light source.

Knowing the percentage larger is truly eye-opening! Thanks so much, Pearl Dreams! I like this easier math!

Thank you, Pearl Dreams! I missed this announcement.
