Pearl Strands-identify?

[teachinb]

Greetings!
My MIL recently passed away and was a jeweler. She has multiple strands of pearls. Most have this identification, and I have been unable to find it anywhere online. They are heavy and black, dark pink (like in this pic), multicolored, etc. I believe cultured pearls. Can anyone help me identify where they may have been purchased from or what type of pearls they are?
Thanks!!

Welcome to Pearl-Guide, teachinb!
These appear to be cultured pearls from China, with a bead nucleus. I'm unable to tell from the photo if the pearls are dyed or natural color. Hard to say where she might have purchased them; as a jeweler she would have many sources for pearl purchases. I don't recognize the charm.
If you want us to take a look at other pearls, please photograph the complete necklace against a white paper towel and post on this thread.
I'm sorry for your loss.

If she was a jeweler, is it possible that the charm is HER mark?
