They look like akoyas.

@A.pearl.girl I have sent you a direct message with a code to take the "Pearls As One" course for free. :)

Is there glue on the pearl? If so, acetone may get it off without damaging the pearl. Put some on a cotton swab and dab it.

Beautiful cat, beautiful pearls. I had 2 cats with similar coloring, years ago. Both had spicy personalities.

Pattye has a method whereby she runs one thickness of Serafil through the necklace and knots the doubled thread, pearl by pearl, around that. You could do that, begininng the running thread after the end pearls. If you would prefer to widen the holes on the last few pearls, I have been using...

Thank you, @BWeaves! I don't usually wear two (or three) strands together, but these do seem to fit each other nicely. Also, while I have long felt that this "silver rose" Freshadama necklace is a bit too warm a white for me, the exotics are also a warm color range, so they seem to go together...

I've taken to wearing my 2007 Freshadamas (7-8mm) and 2008 Exotics (8-9mm) together. They are both 18" and have the same gold ball clasp, so are easy to connect end to end. Yesterday I wore them as one long rope. Today I've arranged them as a two-strand.

They look dyed to me.

They appear to be cultured freshwater pearls from China.

I'm not sure about the first pearl. It could be a Tahitian but I've also had dyed freshwaters that looked like that. The second pearl looks like an Edison.

They actually look like imitation pearls to me. This area, for example, looked like the imitation coating peeled off:

A pleasure to watch.

I agree, freshwater pearls. I bought some like those at an Intergem show when my daughter was in 5th grade...2007.

They are all imitation pearls.

Lovely! Thank you for sharing!
