hello everyone, I have inherited some pearls and are finding it exceptionally difficult to find anything about them, so I thought I would post to the experts. I have a pair of apparently very old silver /pearl ear rings. They are in a red velvet box and have the following on the silk inside box material:- k mikimoto, giza,tokyo. Secondly a pearl necklace again in a red velvet box with a pink sash saying :- shinbido kobeand made up of 137 tiny pearls and 1 larger pearl on the clasp. I am not the luckiest person in the world so don't expect them to be a fortune, but any information would be helpful. If anyone would like pictures I can send some. Many Regards to all Gary
