Thanks. Traveling right now so I can’t send a photo but it’s called a “ Vario” clasp. You can see them on lithos jewelry and other sites as well . It feels quite secure .

Update on interchangeable strand Update on interchangeable strand Finally .. Here is a photo of the tourmaline strand to use with the interchangeable clasp. From my research I think the clasp might be made by Marcel Roelof ( Dutch ) . I took it to a jeweler and they loved the 18k clasp with...

It’s a tourmaline strand . I’ll send photos later . Out for the day in the sunshine .

Thanks! Still warming up to the idea of freshwater as these will be my first . Pearls are so addicting as we all know ..

One more ..

Some more photos

Thanks for the replies. I bought them on approval . They are part of a set with an 18k clasp. Not sure if I wanted freshwater but the colors and luster are pretty amazing. Tomorrow I’ll try to get a better photo of the mottling. It’s almost an “under current” of pattern ..which made me wonder...

These are listed as “ cultured “ though not sure about saltwater or fresh .. or even if they are real. They feel nice, good weight 13mm , interesting color, gritty tooth feel .. but the mottling ..scale.. hammered undertone is something I just don’t know about. Curious what others think. Thanks

I have purchased many beautiful pearl earrings and necklaces from her. She has a keen eye for color and will customize items if you have special requests. She is quick to respond to questions and is good at describing the subtilties of the pearls. One of my favorite “ shops “.

WoW. Thanks for taking the time to post this. All interesting information.

Thanks for the information. Does anyone know about this company regarding the reputation of the pearls ? ( Hagerstrom and Chapman ) I have found some strands on eBay but not baroque pearls .

There seems to be a fine line between grey and blue akoyas... unless they are the stunning blues that I’ve seen here on the forum.

The ones I have discovered look identical to the Eryis Mabe (to what I have seen pictured on line ) though I have no idea about nacre thickness or quality . They sure are beautiful though..

Interesting information. There isn’t much history on line. Thanks!

Thanks for your replies. I believe they would be about 10-11+mm. Is the color of grey akoyas general natural?

I’m wondering if anyone can tell me the difference ( if there is one ) from abalone Mabe pearls from Mexico vs the “Eyris”abalone mabe’s from New Zealand ? I have seen some from Mexico that look similar .. Thanks for any information.

I found this strand with a 14k clasp . I identified the makers mark as Hagerstrom & Chapman. The seller doesn’t know what they are. I have poor photos ..The color leans toward silver blue, baroque pearls.

Thanks ! I’ll take good care of it.

Thanks. The ring is stamped 14k EB

Posting seams to be the only way I can get “attachment” to show up on my iPad. So... I’ll try again to get a full shot of the ring .
