    When was freshwater pearls first bead nucleated? It is very interesting! to me it is not of any importance if they are akoyas or not, I just want to understand what I see. It's very cool if they are early bead nucleated freshwaters or if they are small south seas. Value - if any does not matter...

    Is the rings a common flaw on low quality akoyas? It was the rings that made me think of freshwaters .

    Oh, Pattye where can you see the bead nucleus? Maybe it's some over- barouqe akoyas after all, something put together and sold to someone just as sea pearls?
