Carmen Miranda of mabe.... Love this pretty piece.

This necklace is for sale at Kojima pearl company

That nacre is thick. I wonder how long those were in the water to achieve this?

WOW! Did this belong to this George F Kunz? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Frederick_Kunz

You scored a deal. Congratulations.

Thank you SunSeeker. I knew it came from the ruckus but didn't know who took it.

You were smart not to wear them. There is no gimp at the clasp ends and this could have caused a failure with the pearls being lost.

It was a very dramatic demonstration. Pattye, can you post a photo of the pearls in the sack please?

I'm not sure if this was Pattye's photo or someone elses from last years ruckus. This was taken outside in the shade of the bag of sea of cortez pearls. I believe the flash light Pattye just showed you was used on the pearls.

This is great news. Congratualtions, Hisano.

I agree with Pearl Dreams. There is a wide range of tones these older akoyas can turn making matching a problem unless you take them shopping with you to the antique stores. I looked for some using ebay and ended up looking in person. If you don't find earrings, perhaps you'll find a strand...

Zowie, The bottom numbers on your tape measure are Millimeters. The 10mm is hidden by the silver end piece, but you can still see the the individual MM measurements. If you're looking for something about 1/2 inch in size. look for 12.5 mm pearls

I just measured my caliper at the 10mm and 11mm openings. Yours appear to be 10mm.

10mm is aproz 3/8" on your ruler 11mm is 7/16

So you're looking for pearls to drop into hot wax along with cages, the customer burns the candles revealing the pearl and cage?

This is just half a generic component of a clasp that can be bought separately .

I seem to remember Michael Valitutti selling California abalone mabe for a short time on ShopNBC. This was back in the late 1990's early 2000.

They are not Kasumi pearls, they are Chinese freshwater pearls. No one is allowed to call them Kasumi unless they are grown in Lake Kasumi. These Chinese pearls are not rare and to do so is cheating the buyer who thinks they are something totally different than what they are buying.

Too cheap Nnguye20, These are real Lake Kasumi-ga-ura pearls from a authorized seller. https://kojimapearl.com/search?q=kasumi

Please read this item from our own Blaire Beavers. She did this for Pearl Guide news. It will make you think twice about dealing on ebay. This seller is deceptive with their listings of Kasumi pearls. NO one sells them at those prices, and they can't be genuine...
