The luster on these is so pretty, but are they freshwater or South Sea? Can anyone tell?

I made a deal and purchased this strand of gently used Tahitian gray pearls with a 14K yellow gold/diamond clasp. Will you all take a took and tell me what you think the fair "used" valuation would be please? They are 11.6mm to 13.4mm, 35 pearls. .02CTW Diamond clasp. I think I know based on...

I ran across this when researching new trends in pearling. I figure most of you experts have already read this, but I found it interesting. I've clicked on links and seen similar knock-off trends on Etsy. https://jewelryconnoisseur.net/brave-new-pearls/

Found these on an EBay site...I've never seen pearls strung with knotted ribbon! @StevieBoy I can see you enjoying something like this! WOW! 28"-5 Rows.

I ran across this strand of Tahitian pearls with a brown diamond clasp and they are advertised as " MIKIMOTO SOUTH SEAS TAHITIAN PEARLS, 26 PEARLS APPROX. 0.5" - 0.75" AND ONE 18KT WHITE GOLD AND DIAMOND BALL CLASP. 16.5" TOTAL" Does anyone know if Mikimoto ever sold a strand like this. They...

Just wondering if anyone can tell from this photo if these pearls are Tahitian or Freshwater. Please advise.

I recently found a very nice strand of white Akoya pearls 16" unstrung for $177 plus tax. Based on the current price of pearls that sold this past year, when the article I read said that Akoya pearls had gone up so much, is this a good price for the pearls. They are 7.75mm consistent measure...

I purchased this 14mm South Sea pearl from a gem dealer. It came 1/2 drilled and right next to the drill hole is what appears to be a divot, but it is absolutely smooth on top. Almost looks like when a wood table has an indention and someone re-varnishes it and the hole filles up with varnish...

I purchased some 14K white gold diamond French back earrings with the intention of removing the small pearl on them and replacing it with a beautiful pair of South Sea Round pearls that are 12.5 and 12.8 respectively. The pearl pair is so beautiful and needs findings that have front/back support...

I posted this strand on my "Pearling Story" thread...I'm not sure what kind of pearls these are...Freshwater or Akoya. they have the pinkish sheen of Akoya and markings could also be Akoya but they are so big for Akoya pearls, it makes me think they may be just really nice Freshwaters. Because...

I purchased this necklace. It is about 17" around the neck plus the dangle length. The part that the 10K gold chains are threaded through is also 10K and the little diamonds also tested authentic. What kind of pearls are these? I think they were intended to be SS White/SS Golden and Tahitian but...

One of the most challenging parts of loving pearls is storing them in a ways where they are safe from the elements AND you can actually remember what you have in your collection. After all, we want to wear what we have! I love wearing my pearls so much I actually purchase outfits to match my...

I have been working with this EBay seller who admits he does not know if these are genuine Tahitian Pearls. I'm guess "No" but need other input from experts. Please let me know what you think.

My pearl journey begins here, and my guess is that only pearl lovers will care to read this. In my younger years I always loved admired pearls. As a newly employed Legal Secretary (just out of college) I would go on my lunch hours and look at pearls in the downtown high-end jewelry shop. I...
