could you please take a look the second one?
I like the clasp but the pearl are not as "mirror like“ as the first strand...
 
I am stll hunting...LOL

I didn't got this one,sold around $400,pearl size are around 6mm.
I don't like the color...not big fun of yellow gold either...

Applecheek,

You've been busy! I agree with Bernadette, beautiful opals, and akoya, they look really round!
 
some more pictures here.what do you think?

from seller:
Double Strand Pearl Necklace with White Gold & Sapphire Catch

The white pearls are 6.5mm on average. Each strand is hand-knotted between each pearl, so if you break the strand, you won't lose all of the pearls. The catch is 3/4" in diameter with 7 blue sapphires in the center. The tongue of the catch is stamped with the 14K gold mark. The necklace is 15" long and weighs 47.0 grams.



Photos of second strand are too blurry for me to tell anything about the pearls, pretty clasp though!

Ok I'll go out on a limb, they're simulated
 
thank you guys.this is really helpful!!!
I think they are man made pearls too,since the surface are not very smooth...
Whatever they are, they don't seem to have much luster, reflection, compared with the first strand you showed. Have you seen these in person?

Did you buy them? If so, try the tooth test. Not fool proof, but I haven't found many man-made that pass it.
 
tested they are real pearls.my question is ,they are super round and even sized,but the surface are not very smooth...
what kind of pearls are they?
