LOL It is here, in my collection case. I don't think there are any naturals in it, or if there are, it is a mix. It appears to be an antique akoya strand.

Would anyone like my grandma's strand for free to do as you please?

A photo of the strand can be found in "My Collection" thread or in one of my photo albums

If it turns out to be naturals, then all I would ask is for a 10% donation to be made to a charity of my choice (a cancer related charity)

Hi DK,

I vote that they be sent to Caitlin! If they turn out to be naturals, they wouldn't be in a better natural pearl enthusiasts hands. Also, she does a lot of work here at P-G. So it would be fitting, I think.

My guess is that they are akoya, from the roundness. Naturals are much less likely to have the more perfect roundness of that strand. However, if gently washed using pearl-guide approved cleaning methods and restrung, they would no doubt be very pretty!
