    Hello :)​ I have had this strand for 20 years now. I bought them at Macy's in late 1990-early 2000. I have had re-stung 2x now. Worn a lot. 14kt stamped clasp. Pearls measure roughly 6mm, uniform. What type are these and what happened? Looks like nacre chipped or peeled off by drill hole. The...
