My interest in pearls began with my Aunt Petra, who spent most of her time with world travel. She knew of my love for jewelry, especially pearls.Everywhere she went, she would send me pearls or gemstones from wherever she was. Later in life, she also left me part of her own personal pearl jewelry collection as well. I don’t think I would actually part with any of the things she gave me because of a relationship we had, but friends of mine have been pushing me to find out more about the pearls and other items and get them appraised eventually. This is my initial steps at compromise regarding that issue.
My Aunt Petra was a larger than life individual in almost every way imaginable, including the size of her bracelets. So I want to find out what I can about this first item and pearls that comprise it. What I can tell you initially is that this is a baroque pearl bracelet consisting of a large center pearl weighing 5 grams. The smaller pearls range in weight from about 1.7 grams to 2.0 grams. I don’t know much about the clasp beyond it being sterling silver. I also have no idea regarding the origins of the pearls. I’ll include close up photos. I would really appreciate any insight that anyone can offer.
