Hello everyone!
It’s my first post here after spending some time reading through posts and educational material.
I’ve recently started collecting second hand pearls as a hobby.
I found these beauties today at a local church second hand shop.
They all pass the grit test.
Most of them are around 8-8.5mm.
The pink ones have amazing lustre, the posts are a gold colour and have no markings.
The white ones also have lovely lustre and are on very tarnished (blackened) 925 posts.
Unsure of how old any of them are.
The chocolate brown ones are also on unmarked silver coloured posts.
I hoped they may be akoya but was doubtful due to the off round shape. After cleaning them up and seeing the lustre I am not so sure!
Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts.
