I am interested in some more information on this pearl necklace I inherited from my Japanese mother in law. They were in a Mikimoto box but do not have that stamp. From the appraisal I received:-
The Akoya cultured pearl necklace consists of 101 pearls graduating in size from 7.3mm to 3.3mm. The necklace is strung without knots on a sterling silver clasp with a single 3x3.5mm cultured pearl and measures approximately 18" in length.
Color: White with a slight pink undertone
Color matching: Excellent
Roundness: Excellent
Nacre thickness: Excellent
Nacre evenness: No bumps, spots or blemishes
Overall quality of necklace (scale 1 to 10): 9.5
Comments: Excellent necklace with top quality pearls.
