I am sorry for any late replies to anyone's posts. I did not have notifications turned on and didn't see them. Thanks to all.

Thanks for sharing that article. Definitely informative.

After re reading your reply I think I'd enjoy trying to restring them on my own. I think it will be a challenge for me thought but I'm going to attempt it. Thanks so much for the wealth of information on it and for inspiring me.

I was wondering about the excess of nacre? around those drill holes and also was skeptical because I can see some round denting around the holes also. Thank you for the clairfication.

You have a good eye, yes, I can see that now. I cannot return them because I bought a large lot of them at good will. Question I have though, I have seen via my research that some real pearls can peel, is this true? Just trying to learn.

Hi group. This is a recent purchase of silver pearl necklace with a round pave 10Kti white gold (not marked) magnetic clasp. The pearls are cold, heavy and slightly gritty. I have taken some photos of the holes to possibly help with identification. Thanks for any information.

Thanks so much for all of the help and replies and taking the time to share your knowledge.

Yes, the 13-16 mm size is relating to some being smaller in length. I guess I was thinking South Sea because they are more satin like in appearance. Thank you for your response.

I have these strung pearls without a clasp and are curious as to whether they are South Sea pearls because of the size. They measure 13 to 16 mm and have various tones to them, such as silver, gold, blue, pink, champagne. They were purchased in a lot of pearls online. Thanks to any for your help

Wow, that price is way out of my range. Never would have known. Thank you for sharing the info.

Thank you for your help. Guess I have to go to a jewelry store and I do agree that they will look much better properly cleaned and restrung.

I know nothing about Mikomotor but did some googling about pearls and did think that most have some kind of blemishes or imperfections. It can be confusing at times. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for sharing that information. It is greatly appreciated.

I actually did clean them by soaking in dishwashing liquid for a bit, but, the string is definitely still grimy. I appreciate your suggestion and help. T

Thank you for your response. I have taken some closer photos to show the nacre better. I did find while researching that some Mikomoto clasps have no marks, so that is why I decided to post it to the group. I know nothing about the pearl on the clasp and hadn't thought of that. I have ann...

Hello group, Have had this old necklace for quite some time and thought they were not real, but the other day decided to check them out again and now believe they are real because I can see imperfections with a loupe. Another discovery was that the gold clasp tested as 14K with acid. So, am...

You have made alot of very good points about this necklace. I am now doubtful that the spacers beads are even turquoise and now know the types of pearls used. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and helping me. It is greatly appreciated.

I would appreciate some help with identifying this pearl necklace. The clasp is 18K gold but it marked oddly, reading K18. The pearls are real, with an oblong shape and have turquoise beads in between them. They seem, at least to me, to be of good quality, but I am not sure. Also, because...

Thank you so much Pearl Dreams. I am always amazed of the knowledge in this group.

Hello all, Recent purchase of this necklace which has an older clasp marked 925. The pearls are fairly large but are not perfectly round and they also have a ring around them. Are they baroque and are they common? Thank you for any help.
