Are these real pearls?

[DebHill]

Hello- hoping someone can give me some information on these pearls. I got a bunch of old costume jewelry at an estate sale & there were 2 necklaces that look like they could possibly be genuine pearls. I'll post one necklace at a time. The one below is marked 830 on the clasp (silver)

Thank You!

They do appear to be semi-baroque akoya pearls, yes.

Thank You! I appreciate that information very much! I paid $100 for a shoe box size of old costume jewelry that included the necklace.

Does anyone know how much a pearl necklace like this would be valued at? I bought the jewelry for the purpose of reselling most of it but I don't have any idea how much a necklace like this would sell for. Any ideas?

Easiest way is to check ebay for similar necklaces. You'll need to know the size of the pearls. Good luck!

Wow! What a find! Sitting next to the tape measure they look to be quite large across! Well done.
