Freshwater baroque ones?

[Polforos]

Hello everyone! I bought a necklace mostly for the clasp, and I couldn't identify the pearls itself by the photos seller provided. In real life they are very much different from my standart potato freshwater necklace. I attach the macro photo I made of them both with my stored spare south sea pearls (2nd row) and potato freshwater (3rd row). Luster and shapes just seem odd to me. Can you help me with these?

I have a multicolored strand of FWP that look just like that-- I ordered them from a seller in China back in 2007 or 2008.

Yes, Pearl Dreams, I agree. These can also be called nugget pearls. They don't have a bead in the center, so develop this free form baroque shape.

I used to see large kasumi elongated shapes, fireballs or some irregural oval shapes, these are quite fancy by their appearance. It seems these are FWP then!

Is there any difference from classic non-nucleous FWP though? As far as I know there is no nucleous, but mantle tissue used for them. Are nugget pearls alike keshi in saltwater pearls, means spontaneous?

 

[pattye]

Yes, I think mantle tissue.

I thin Polforos was asking if nugget pearls are like saltwater keshi that form spontaneously in otherwise-cutured pearls.
I would not have thought so; I would have thought they were just tissue nucleated pearls that formed in those odd shapes.
