    Inherited mystery strand

    And you can also use a UV lamp to see the pearls fluorescence. If real they will "glow blue".

    Hey everyone , are these white south sea pearls 🙂 , i inherited these from my grandmother 👵

    I have seen really low quality SSPs that look even worse than these...but, yes: too little information and inadequate photos don't lead to a better recomendation.

    Vintage Mikimoto real/fake
