Thanks. GIA CERT natural American

Mississippi about 15-20 years ago.

If they have big holes. 1-5 $$. If you had a paper of all of these loose TAKE THE FIRST $50. and have a good dinner. There is no demand for this color, and if hey been redrill end to accommodate large posts .. $20. if you ind a dealer interested. Norm

In the 39 years of doing this I've seen some nice material, cultured and natural, this one was mine untile I traded it last summer. I don't remember where I got it from and wasn't smart enought to provinance it. ;( 12mm maybe off round by .2mm.....GIA cert as Natural American pearl.

I am going to be a wet blanket here. I agree with the comments on photo quality. Try black acetate or mirror. North light. BUT there are dangers if the request is for some legal issue, probate, etc. Only a GIA cert is valid in court. Or a licensed appraiser in jewelry. If they are natural...

Photos are hard for ID my guess is Japanese Akoya. the striations on the one isnt a characteristic of FWCP. If the holes haven't been enlarged they could have value if they holes have been increased to 1.5 to 2 mm this is the best use. Norm

It is highly unlikely this many matched natural pearls would be on an earring back that is unsecure. I think.like the rest these are cultured Akoya. Keep you reye open for this color in pawn shops it can be hard to find if you loose one or one becomes damaged. Norm

Good Day While assisting writing about the natural pearls of the Upper Mississippi River Basin and organizing my collection and from the research the formula I discovered is to square the weight as a basis to start. Then you can multiply by any number you want 5-10-20-30 depending how round...

3mm natural color Miss. River Basin pearl inside a hand blown bottle. 35mm total height +\-

Hello . For a large black strand we use. FFF if it fits. Double overhand works but takes to long and is not necessary with FFF . Splitting the strands at the conclusion of the knot and a slight tug will tighten it up. As get as using a tool to draw the knot up use a large embroidery needle...

not only don't I know how to spell it..I didn't know what it was called. My Ma used it for 4-5 mm. We do zillions adds pearls and when in production they can be laid out in the 2-3-or 4 pearls per neck. Rather than pull 4 from a neck the string. Try to do similar hand functions at one time Norm

I hope this works from my pad.

Some time ago I found cord a Roy (spell) with big rills. (?) worked well for laying out and keeping track of pearls. I have old bead boards also. There is a new SS easy clasp, not cheap but easy for fingers to use, Pinching the clasp opens it to remove male plunger. Just pushing it in...

Hi easy measure ...twice length for no knots + abit for tying off. knotting. 4-41/2 times the length. all based on double thread fit plain stringing We always knotted to second one came back and knotted and glued, Elmer's only (water soluable) never Chrystal or super! Ialways had trouble...

Humpf. ;). ;)

Good job. Sorry about silk this silk that but u can dye silk to any color you want with Rit dyes. Bit tedious but it works. Sewing stores have hundreds of thread colors. There are new needles that don't require threading through a hole at ns needle. As a side note the publisher of the bead...

Without lot of blah blah. I have bought natural American pearls since 1965. I have enjoyed traveling up and down the Upper Mississippi as part of my Territory. Occasionally, (emphasis added) I would encounter some to buy. Often I had little more than curiosity and no money. Not being allowed...
