The pattern is not a "Star of David" or "Magen David"...it is a "regular star". It is an interesting story and I would love to hear more :)

It does look like a South Sea pearl necklace...but can't be 100% sure just by looking at the photos. What strikes me odd: a silver clasp on a SSP necklace.

And just by looking at the video...those are ASIAN freshwater mussels. Definitively not the "Conchos pearly mussel" of Texas.

I agree. It looks like a Mabe pearl set in a silver setting, but could be a button shaped pearl. Hard to discern with that setting.

I am sorry. The "T" mark is unfamiliar to me. The pearl seems to be an Akoya pearl.

These look like baroque fresh water pearls from China. Non-bead nucleated.

Very nice!

Nice pearl necklace. Great lustre, cleanliness...looks like Akoya pearls.

I agree. Badly damaged and old faux pearls

Doesn't look ancient in any way. Looks like a regular cultured pearl. Have you tested it in any way?

Thank you for the share!

The pearls look like Akoya and the clasp has the Mikimoto logo...the style of necklace is not very common, yet not rare....can't recall how its called. It looks beautiful, very well matched and arranged.

I agree with @ennui and @Pearl Dreams

I agree

How big are these? I see some smaller sized ones that look very Akoya to me, but then...what sizes are we talking about?
