Hello, I've been away for a while but just read your posts. Only natural pearls thanks a lot for giving me advise and I will try and go to Grays antiques market in London. I must say I was a bit surprised with christies, only because the girl who looked at my pearls seem to be very young and...

anyone of you knows collector interested in my piece? worth to ask i guess :)

Well i do ware the ring but not the necklace... thats why i wanted to sell it. Anyhow.... guess its better to keep it then sell it at such low price. They all confirmed its perfectly matched but the pearls are small

Well I've been to Christies today and they told me there is no point to auction my pearls at all cause I wont have a sale. The person even told me that I would be wasting my money having them tested..... I think this is when i give up. I dont really know where else I could go... If I have them...

US is a good option any recomendations to where I could send my pearls? I will try and go to Christies tomorrow and hope they direct me somewhere This is the 3rd time I've been told they are most likely naturals but could be mixed with cultured. However the estimate wont change ... it makes no...

Really??? I was a bit shocked to hear the estimate so low if they were all naturals. Also I have to say the person i saw didnt look very proffesional, as if she didnt know how to answer my questions. Maybe not the best place to sell pearls....

Hello everyone. Today i went to Bonhams in London, Knightbridge to have valuation on my pearls, the person went for second opinion once there and I was told the estimate for sale would be ?1000 - 1500. Even if proved they are all natural the estimate would still be same. Does that sound like...

Thank you for confirming my thoughts, ?400 - ?500 would be silly to even put on sale. My decision is that i will be keeping the ring no matter what as i fell in love with it and love wearing it. I will keep you posted as soon as i find out more but your comments and opinions are always welcome...

Well. As you probably see i dont. Really know much about pearls and what i do know ( very basic) is just due to my reaserch on the internet. I noticed natural pearls are so hard to see online so therefore i went to see little shop in notting hill gate, next to my work and pearson there gave me...

Im not to sure, i will messure it again. This is how he came to this, he basicly took the neclace and put it onto. Something that looked like a scale and i thought that was the weight of it. Think i wrote the sizes somewhere on this thread. Would you please explain me how to messure the sizes...

i think he said something like 25 carats... does that make any sense to you? Sorry its just that im trying to learn as much as i can about all this :)

See thats what i thought. In about 5 mins he said they were natural. I thought he ment as in coltured but he was 100% they are real. One thing that puzzeld me was the price he said they would be worth. It was roughly ?400 - ?500 so i was a bit surprised as i thought they would be worth more...

Thank you very much for your opinion, sounds about right to me. Very helpful too. I was a bit surprised when they said that pearls are natural, like to good to be true.

The people who examined them were first one gemologist in jewellery shop and pearl expert dealing with only natural pearls so therefore very small place with the office, they dont really deal with sales

Do you think it would be wise selling them as they might not be worth much?

Oh wow you seem to be sure they are cultured... Cant believe 2 experts can be so wrong. They actually examined them

Ok here are the pics taken under natural light. Hopefuly this time i did a better job? Just to let you know I have booked an appointment with Christies specialist :) Only thats for 28th of August, they will then refer me to the right person to test them. I can't believe how difficult it is to...
