It is a great size photo on my laptop, jeg, not too big, not too small, easy to admire it all!

No expert but I'd also say vintage akoya that would look great cleaned up and restrung on that lovely clasp - could it be jade?

Lovely to see the clasp and pearls like that, I suppose you could 'narrow down' the date to first half of the 20th Century! :)

Lovely clasps, Barbaradilek, they really do enhance the old pearls, don't they? And I think beautiful pearls 'deserve' beautiful clasps! Can't help on that square clasp, I'm afraid. Do you know what the metal is? I want to say 1940's but it is probably much older than that.

Gorgeous strand, StarryPearl. Do hope you'll share a neck shot with us...

Beautiful Pattye, and yes, I hope PT shares a neck shot with us.

Happy thread, beautiful pearls, thank you all for sharing

Marvellous, BWeaves, marvellous. If your top was white and your hair long, you could be an Edwardian lady at an afternoon tea party

So sorry to hear about the jewellery but what a special gift from your Mother. Those pearl will look beautiful cleaned and restrung and we look forward to some neck shots of your wife wearing them.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing

From 1989... I suppose they'd be considered vintage now :rolleyes:

Couldn't agree more! Thank you Jeg... And thank you everyone for sharing your pearly treasures for all of us to enjoy.

Lovely pearly treasures

They look very sparkly to me, Anna and such a lovely idea to make them for you and your sisters. I'm afraid I don't know enough about them to give an opinion of quality, would love to see some neck shots when you have finished.

Love my diamond and sapphire clasp from my great aunt. It is now being used as a pearl and gem rope along with the healthy vintage akoyas from the original strand (thanks Catherine Cardellini for the glamour shot)

Yay! Love clasps. This was a clasp thread in 'Other Stuff' a few years ago. Thread: Show us your clasps! No idea how to link it here, it is on about page 5 of 'Other Stuff' and it would be lovely to somehow combine these threads...?

Very sorry to hear this Masik.

Love all these different stones...
