Are they worn beyond serviceability?

Thanks! We just purchased it at auction and it hasn't arrived yet (can't wait). The clasp is 22mm x 6mm Platinum and Diamonds.

We will want to keep it period correct, by the way they were billed as "Deco" would you agree? I have never seen a safety chain on a strand before would it be correct to put it back?

How about the re-string? Should we do it first and should we keep the configuration the same (safety chain)? Also should we use real silk or a synthetic on these?

Thank you as always PD! Should I send them as is or bathe them first?

This strand is my latest purchase. I'm hoping that they will clean up and then we'll re-string them. Any help with the origin of these would be greatly appreciated!!

It looks very similar to my wife's

Bernadette and 2thdktr Thank you very much for the suggestions!

Well Jane couldn't be of assistance as she doesn't have proper workspace at the moment and her contacts couldn't either. If anyone can think of any other leads I'd appreciate it!

Thank you both!

I am looking a t a triple strand for my wife but have not seen 3mm on the market before. Could you please tell me what they may be?

I remembered that my wife had made a couple of impulse buys at a gallery in Kirkland, WA. while on one of her art workshop trips. The necklace was actually on the artist who made it! The earrings were made by the same lady but I'm not sure of the pearls. I cannot figure out what the necklace...

I had another thought on a "fix" for the clasp rolling. It was originally a double strand piece and I changed it to the one which caused the problem. I was thinking to add a couple of strands of colored Akoya's to it since it can be a triple, but wasn't sure if that might be a bit much. You all...

Thank you for the nice comments! I do have a confession... her birthday, Hannukah, Valentine's and our anniversary fall generally within 8-11 weeks so my kindness might also be interpreted as laziness as I always buy (depending on year) at least one piece of nice jewelry to cover it all. She...

Thank you very much! There was one unforeseen hiccup, the Pearls are quite a bit larger that what the clasp was on so now when worn at the side the clasp rocks as she moves. I am considering having some gold added to the back of the clasp in the form of a small band cut in half and soldered to...

Thanks very much! These pics are in a light box as opposed to the old ones under overhead flourescent's with I don't know what type of bulbs. What would you say is closer to actual color from your experience?

The measurement is exactly the same as before, 24.5". Is it possible for the stringer to adjust their "style" the maintain the measurement or is it coincidence? The knots are proud of the drill holes so I guess the job is a good one. I don't know who they were but I think that the local name...

We sent my wife's new strand out to replace the puny clasp with the one from my mother's imitations. I think they look great with the clasp (almost anything would have been better). The knots seem to be far tighter/smaller than what they had before. Which is more "correct"? Please excuse the...

Based on my reading I'm guessing these are Akoya?

These shots are a much better representation. In daylight I didn't need the overhead lights.
