FYI, I sold my pearls and want to thank everyone for all of your help and for being so kind to a pearl novice, I wish you all happiness, health, and prosperity.

Thanks, I’ll try them. I also have to research on money/purchase transfer as I’m clueless about how it’s done. I wish one of my daughters had wanted the necklace but they both said they didn’t want the responsibility. Drats. Would have made it easier for moi!

Would you care to point me in that direction?

I’ve done that. Thank you.

I agree that it's good to know! Thanks to all of you for your insight!

Hi there, I am sort of new here too and hope that you can carve out a market here in the states...because I have a necklace that I got as a gift while I was living in Bahrain back in the 80s that I would like to sell. I've had it verified by GIA and they found an "undetermined fresh water pearl...

I have a vintage strand of Bahraini pearls, verified by GIA. In their comments section, they write: "Undetermined freshwater pearl, 18 from the clasp end." I have been told this is referred to as a "poison pearl" and is the signature of the original stringer. I have spent months, off and on...
