Freshwater kind?

[Dan678]

Looking for more info about these pearls. Found necklace and bracelet at an estate sale. Clasps says 925 RFS, they are gritty etc. Have colder vibe for a few seconds when held. Let me know what you think. Paid $2 for them.
Cheers!

You got it right! They are dyed cultured freshwater pearls from China. The dye is stable. The pearls are tissue grafted, no bead inside, so very durable.
Will you wear them?

No won’t wear them, I look like a hobbit irl or early 2000s Jack Black. Probably see if my Ma wants them or sell for a few bucks if the sliver is real. I’m always finding sliver but first time finding real pearls. It’s interesting that they are dyed, is it to mimic more valuable ones or just for added decoration? Thanks for responding.

It tends to be lower quality FWP that were dyed. But many unscrupulous sellers advertise them as Tahitians, which are saltwater pearls of much greater value. You'll see this on eBay quite often.

They aren't fine pearls, but for $2, you got a steal of a deal!
