Wow, that price is way out of my range. Never would have known. Thank you for sharing the info.

Thank you for your help. Guess I have to go to a jewelry store and I do agree that they will look much better properly cleaned and restrung.

I know nothing about Mikomotor but did some googling about pearls and did think that most have some kind of blemishes or imperfections. It can be confusing at times. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for sharing that information. It is greatly appreciated.

I actually did clean them by soaking in dishwashing liquid for a bit, but, the string is definitely still grimy. I appreciate your suggestion and help. T

Thank you for your response. I have taken some closer photos to show the nacre better. I did find while researching that some Mikomoto clasps have no marks, so that is why I decided to post it to the group. I know nothing about the pearl on the clasp and hadn't thought of that. I have ann...

Hello group, Have had this old necklace for quite some time and thought they were not real, but the other day decided to check them out again and now believe they are real because I can see imperfections with a loupe. Another discovery was that the gold clasp tested as 14K with acid. So, am...

You have made alot of very good points about this necklace. I am now doubtful that the spacers beads are even turquoise and now know the types of pearls used. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and helping me. It is greatly appreciated.

I would appreciate some help with identifying this pearl necklace. The clasp is 18K gold but it marked oddly, reading K18. The pearls are real, with an oblong shape and have turquoise beads in between them. They seem, at least to me, to be of good quality, but I am not sure. Also, because...

Thank you so much Pearl Dreams. I am always amazed of the knowledge in this group.

Hello all, Recent purchase of this necklace which has an older clasp marked 925. The pearls are fairly large but are not perfectly round and they also have a ring around them. Are they baroque and are they common? Thank you for any help.

Thank you for the replies. I had to ask because I have found some coin pearl necklaces posted for sale in the thousands of dollar. They are Japanese and made by Cathy Carmendy - so, just had to make sure. Again, thanks.

Are these coin baroque pearls? The necklace is very long at 36" and the clasp is non-magnetic. The pearls have some beautiful colors and are very lustrous. Are they possibly Japanese? Thank you and stay safe.

Thank you so much Pearl Dreams for the reply - and so quickly. I had to make sure. Again, thanks.

Hi group, I have a very long necklace (70") with some bronze colored pearls and thought they were simply dyed freshwater, but am wondering if they would possiby be tahitian and undyed. I am guessing that the white pearls are ringed freshwater pearls, but am not sure. Am hoping you can share...

Thanks for your comment. It's definitely unique which I why I like it. Totally am enjoying the learning that happens here.

I was wondering about those points also. But, did find a Samourai pearl necklace in the original box at Worthpoint. So, guess it was a store at some time in the past. Here's a link to it, if you're interested...

I guess that's the case. Shame they have gone down in value so much - probably supply and demand. I was thinking of combining and wearing the necklaces with silver ones of similar colors. May just have some fun with them. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you for the replies. I thought they were rice krispie pearls also but was perplexed because the price tag was so high at $715.00. Also, the larger necklace a different shape to it and the pearls are bigger. Would they still be considered rice krispie pearls?

Hello group. I recently purchased these 3 necklaces and need help identifying them. They are very irridescent and have 14k clasps. There is a tag on on two of them reading Samourai cultured pearls with a price of $175.00 on the back. One necklace is larger and the pearls are shaped...
