I apologize in advance as I realize these are not high-quality pearls. However I have done exhaustive Internet research and cannot find anything like these. My guess is Tibet, China, Myanamar, Philippines. I happened to be wearing them when I was at an estate sale one day and the man running the estate sale assured me they were freshwater pearls and thought them a very nice color. He said that shells could be shaped to make shaped pearls. I have never heard of that. They are a very nice brown color with blue and other highlights. I think they resemble acorns. 6mm x 4mm.
Once again sorry if these don’t fit your forum. Im just curious should anyone know anything. The clasp is nothing special, not silver. Perhaps a piece of yellow calcite on clasp. The dzi bead is nice and has an engraved tiger on the back. Thanks for chiming in. I just recently replaced my pearls because mine disappeared. And my mom has a strand of Mikimoto from the 50s!
