My nephew is wearing a bracelet from Pearl Paradise like the one on Caty's post no.46

By chance I found this portrait with a similar style. There are differences but this might help determine the period. It was painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence around 1800 and was posted by J&W Russia on FB

Congratulations Douglas and Josh and good luck!

Caitlin Dear, I'm flattered. Thanks! Everything I know about pearls I learned from all of you here on Pearl Guide.

Thank you! If you shoot as many photos as I did, I'm sure one will come out okay. LOL

Thank you and yes. The truncated pearl says it all. Thank you Karin!

Ha! That's what you think ;)
