    Freshwater Pearls 24/7

    Hi! Perlinda. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I've never thought they'll turn smaller but you're right, pearl nacre is rather... 'soft'? 0.5mm for 6 months is pretty fast.

    Buying and Selling on eBay

    Hi! Do the pearls look like what the seller listed? It’s strange these 3 strands of pre-owned necklaces have the same type of clasp. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Fine-Jewelry-/4196/m.html?item=281131994558&pt=US_Fine_Necklaces_Pendants&hash=item4174c5cdbe&_ssn=renaissancejewels

    Vintage Akoya necklace

    Thank you for all your responses. The pearls are 6.5-7mm and the strand of necklace is 31" long. Yes, the beads are aventurine. The clasp is silver. How can I polish the silver without destroying the pearls? Does the pearls have low or medium luster?
