So they are Soth sea Keshi as the I was told. I am relieved to read this.

Pattye so they are Keshi? I could see the back . The pearls were beautiful. I hesitated making a move on the necklace for fear of fakes. When I attempted the tooth test the seller almost jumped across the counter to strangle me. So I thought to write you asap. I did not want to be taken for a ride.

I also have this picture. Are they Keshi?

I have been trying to post and cannot seem to get it together. I went shopping yesterday for pearls. I came across a lovely necklace. I was told the pearls were Keshi but not similar to the ones I have seen here. The focal Pearl was 22mm with 10 graduated pearls. The gold workmanship was a piece...

Ouch, I suppose I came in late but the idea of grinding an ax with every small dealer is really disconcerting. You could have left that out and gotten to the website . By the way I did go to the site, it was in Japanese... Not helpful but I got the point.

Congrats. I have been busy and late with my response. Maybe this will get me studying.

metallic pearls. metallic pearls. I have seen these pearls. However, as stated before are they real cultured or manufactured like the 'cotton' peals or glass? Betty -sue did not explain a thing in the "read more" section. How are they manufactured? also, not to ask a stupid question, how large...

Betty sue, How is the metallic pearl formed? I was searching for the article but little was written. The pearls look like "fake". Are they in fact cultured... How big is the nucleus if one is used?

How does one get chewing gum off pearls? Ok, I am chewing gum. I place my strand of pearls in my mouth. Ouch! Then... Do I need say more?

Have they been treated? Dyed? How do you know?

I was looking at Fresh water pearls from China. They were 12-13mm, round with few blemishes. []27757[/ATTACH] I don't know if the picture uploaded. It was taken in sunlight. Is this what Chinese Freshwater pearls are to appear in sunlight. Apparently this string was with Mantle tissue, no bead...

The Gold SS pearl is indeed beautiful. The luster is lovely with the contrast of the light noted by the pearl. I would hate to tell you how much I paid for a SS pearl!

The question regarding the clasp as being 14K or KK I believe may be answered by the black 'leather' packaging. Inside it reads 14 K Gold. Unless of course the packaging is not the original. I agree that the nacre does appears to be thin. It is too bad your daughter does not care for pearls. I...

The pearls are gorgeous. Not only do I note the change from daylight to indoor lighting but how they reflex an image like a mirror. The have a superior luster. bluidragon

GemGeek, I went back to the infant necklace. I counted 232 pearls. What I did note was the center pearl and those on each side were not knotted. I used a 40x loop as I have bad sight. I could not count the pearls with my eyeglasses on or with a magnifying glass at 7x. However, the last three...

Did J Norris confirm that they were indeed natural or cultured? are you able to take a photo of the strand you write of in the forum or is that something you don't do ...

That is a good observation.

I visited the thread you recommended. I did not realize that the pin could be from Victorian times. One of the comments stated not to wear for fear the necklace or earrings would be damaged. I suppose it goes back into the box. Now if I could locate the earrings ... I take it the thread was...
