Thrifted bracelet and necklace

[triscodiscuit]

Got these at a thrift store, the bracelet has 6mm peals and a 14k yellow gold

Necklace has 14k white gold and diamond clasp, ~4.5mm pearls. The bracelet is slightly warmer in color than the necklace.

Nice score! They appear clean, too. Congrats!

I will bet that the stone in the white gold clasp is a diamond...may jewelers have diamond testers. The necklace looks recently restrung...but a little too tight. If it is not hanging right and If that is polyester thread (Usually used now) or cotton (matte).... Yours looks polyester to me...Soak it in distilled water for 2-5 minutes (You can add dish soap if you want it clean too.). Try hanging it on a coat hanger to see if it will stretch out just enough. If not, soak again and then pull it out of the water and gently stretch the knots just enough to tighten. Be very gentle. You can gently stretch knots several times instead of one big pull that might break your thread. If it is silk (shiny) then do NOT wash/stretch when wet...silk gets weak in water!!!! Silk is rarely used now...but some jewelers might still use it...so check first.
