Dear Pearl-Guide Forum Members,
Wow, what an incredible website this is. I am only just starting to learn about pearls. I am a volunteer at a charity shop and my task is sorting and selling the jewellery. We sell more valuable pieces online, so that we can (hopefully) reach a better price and then this benefits our local community.
Anyway ... I digress ... This beautiful strand of pearls arrived in a plastic bag of donated jewellery last week. I recognised the Mikimoto logo immediately and am doing some research but getting rather muddled. My main questions are: 1. Approx. age of pearls and 2. Is there a way to know their grade/quality within the Mikimoto 'heirarchy'. Their sold prices on ebay seem to vary so much!! I will be selling these but do not want to accidentally under-price them. The strand measures 50cm from end to end (including clasp) the largest pearl is just over 7mm. Any assistance from this forum would be greatly appreciated.
