Color enhanced freshwater cultured pearls

They don’t look asymmetrical, to me. Which is the definition of “baroque”. Someone would have to examine much closer to tell you if their freshwater or not. 👍🏻 I mean they do appear to be freshwater pearls but if I cannnot tell from this photo I doubt someone else could say for certain.

The pearl source is a great vendor. Uneatable prices, and great quality. They hve a pretty good rep :)

Maybe i have seen better. Take pic with white background can’t really see the pearls

I have seen once maybe, but the piece does seem pretty rare. That’s why I like auctions!! :)

Nice I am so impressed with your guys’ ability to identify this over photos :) I'm sure the folks at GIA had to use equipment. Now to find a buyer 😅

This looks very special. I can’t say for certain that it’s authentic from photos but it does look special like I said. Good luck finding someone locally that knows their pearls. 🤷‍♀️ you could probably find a buyer without the appraisal. Just take good photos and put on eBay for your asking...

Saltwater pearls, can’t really see them clearly

This last comment I wrote was for you and Lagoon Island Pearls, thank you both! But I need you again :-p

Okay my loves, you were correct!! This is an undrilled natural abalone pear per the GIA. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ How much is this guy worth graded, ballpark? Pleaseeeee ⭐️ This is the report viewable on my GIA lab account but I will have the paper when it arrives in the mail :) I was to excited to wait to...

Thank you again for your time I do appreciate you helping me on this one. They are 7.5-8mm, so not quite that big unfortunately:p I have yet to see akoyas larger than 8.7mm so far… :) However the only baroque akoyas I’ve seen were small so I guess they had thinner nacre. They were gorgeous though.

Thank you so much for your response. I handle a lot a lot of akoyas and the luster on these is very different than any I’ve seen, is there a reason the luster would be different, treatment perhaps? I think I see it now, the baroqueness is maybe paired with the larger size is what is unusual too...

Unknown for certain. Would like the expert opinions :) indoor and outdoor lighting

Surprising. Thank you.

Initially thought they were just dyed but after handling a couple strands I just wanted to be sure. Any tips on how you came to conclusion also would be appreciated They are about 8.5mm

Thank you for this tip!! I appreciate it

Thank you all! I have sent two Jewelry items to Gia with unfortunate results and why I asked here first! I will try once more :-p

I’ve been holding on to this ring for awhile and would like to sell it. From my observations it looks to be a natural saltwater pearl with unknown origin. My question is would it be worth it to get it checked out in a lab, would that significantly add to the value? Photos taken with magnification.

Very hard if not impossible to find out information (for me) on un hallmarked mikimoto. The company won’t even authenticate unless it’s hallmarked. But if you just want to know for your purposes, yes those look like mikimoto pearls and yes that clasp is gorgeous, and mikimotos style. These look...
