I'm sorry, I do not know much about the history. I purchased these from a little antique store who originally thought the were naturals. I know these aren't naturals and ended up not paying a lot for these. I like the baroque shapes and the colors of them. The strand is about 35 inches long and...

I saw this on ebay from a seller I have purchased from a few times. It's getting a lot of bids so I was just wondering if anyone has any idea what they are. Here is the listing. Thanks so much. ~d...

Here are a few pearls I found that were pretty on ebay. I didn't bid on either, just wanted to share some ebay finds. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131046997917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/110969354543?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Has anybody ever turned a pin into a pendant without keeping the pin? I have seen this piece you can put on the pin that has a bail but the pin sticks out a bit and I'm worried it will poke me. Any ideas? Thanks ~d

I LOVE these!!! But I would never be able to restring them. Not buying them but these look like they could be real. Just wanted to share, someone else might be interested ;) ~d http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-VINTAGE-EDWARDIAN-NATURAL-SEED-PEARL-3-STRAND-NECKLACE-14K-DIAMOND-REPAI-/251359616958

I really like the fireball pearls but I thought a necklace with all fireballs drilled like this would be too much for me. What do you think? I am going to use either silver or rose gold finding, this is just temporary. The pearls are more pink than the photo but we have had nothing but rain for...

I found these and was wondering if the color may be natural? I still have to clean them still but I was wondering what you all may think? Thanks so much ~d

I really wanted so baroque pearls with so some to them to make into pendants. I purchased these from a family member of a small family jewelry store owner that closed 10 years ago. She has a nice stock of pearls they collected and she swears these are Tahitians. I didn't think that could be...

Hello Everyone! I wanted to post these photos and get your opinions. Out of the four auctions that I thought could be natural pearls, I only won one. Which totally beats none, but I really think it had a lot to with the pounds to dollars and trying to figure out what to bid. Anywho, I purchased...

I found this rice krispy pearl necklace and I want to make it one long strand so I can't reuse the multi strand clasp. The pearls are pink and gold with some other random colors. So I can't go with white gold. Do you think a rose gold clasp would look good with these pearls or should I just...

I know I got a but carried away with buying these, at least that's what my hubby says LOL. But are all of these rice Krispy pearls? Thanks so much ~d

I bought a little bag of pearls from an estate sale and was wondering if the was a way to identify what kind of pearls they are. There are 52 of them in all different shapes, sizes and colors. The original owner was well off but nobody cared about the pearls and with fees, I only paid $16. There...

I totally missed this listing, they kinda look natural to me. But $15!! I love the stones and they graduated the stones and the pearls. The gimp in the front to protect the thread is neat too. Ugh! LOL I need to have more free time to peruse eBay ;)...

I haven't been able to find 14k French wire at all. So when you restring your pearls do you reuse the gimp? I have only been half successful with that so far. So one part of the clasp has it and the other side doesn't. My other question is, can you assume the gimp is 14K if the clasp is 14K...

I have had this for a few weeks now and I'm totally stumped on what this could be. I have found some pearls online that look pretty close to it but nothing definitive. I rescued this from a gem jar in a little antique shop. Its 18k and it used to have an old cut diamond bail but it was removed...

On our 20th anniversary next year, we are having a wedding. We were married in a courthouse and planned to have a wedding, but never did. So I was looking online for dresses with pearls on them and wedding pearls necklaces, when I came across this. It is a little much for me as it is pictured...

This is one of my favorite finds. It is really pretty on. They are gritty when rubbed together. The price I paid and how I found them makes me a wee bit rskeptical. But I really think that they were not purchased in their original box. The seller bought them at an estate sale and sold them on...

Hi all, I bought a strand of pearls that are suppose to be from the 30s or 40s but it doesn't have the metal gimp. It's has what looks like hair or black thread instead. Is this normal? I was about to restring them when I noticed it. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks so much. ~d

Hi All! I figured this was the best place to ask. I buy a lot of vintage pieces, so it's not easy to get them repaired. My pieces usually come back nothing like they received them. So I'm hoping maybe you nice folks can help me fix this. I will attach the original photos so you can get an idea...

I have never seen one of these before. It came with a pearl necklace I bought on ebay. The seller was a man selling them for a friend and he had no idea. How do you use it? I tried to attach it myself but it felt like I was going to break it. I figured I must have been doing something wrong. So...
