Newbie With A Beautiful Strand Requesting Feedback

Even though today is the "return" date reflected in my GIA account, my pearls are not ready. I called today to get a status report, but there is nothing to report... except they are not finished with them yet. Boo. So I wait. But, in the meantime, I picked up a few more pearls on a sterling chain and will post images in a new post to see if anyone knows what there are. They are not special, unfortunately.
 
a gia test is probably not needed on them, as these are natural pearls sadly the value is not so big, because size is quite smalll, I got two like this since I started pearl collection interest, the clasp is very ,ice, would get one like this!
I found antique advertisments and this kind of clasp is pictured and priced on them (US from early XXth)

Do you have a reference for the antique advertisements? I would love to see that. Thank you!
 
Jeremy was correct! My pearls are indeed natural. I don't have the full pdf report yet, as it was just updated on the website today. We'll see what news tomorrow brings. :) Thank you all for your feedback and input. I appreciate it immensely.
 
Congratulations, Kimberly22! Can't wait to hear more details. Natural wild pearls are a rare treasure no matter what the size; yours are lovely. It's my dream to have a strand of naturals someday :)
 
Great news. Congratulations, Kimberly22! Ahhh I need to go to a thrift store as well.
 
Thank you all for your kind words! My pearls arrived back home today. The final word from GIA as promised: The pearls are natural, near-round, saltwater from the species Pinctada. The color is cream and they range in size from 2mm - 5.57 mm. The diamond is transparent, near colorless, brilliant marquise cut.

I'm off to find the next treasure. Thank you ever so much for your feedback.
