Hello Pattye, Lisa c, BWaves and Linda.wald, Thank you all. I really liked the idea of the removable or enhancer bail. This way I won't need to send the chain to the jeweler. She wears the longer necklaces over the blouse, but the shorter I think it will be over the skin because it is a very...

Hello all, I want to make a pendant to this italian gold chain that wears very close to the neck, almost like a choker. I have lots and lots of gemstones of every size and color. It is fla surprise for my mother and she likes to wear a shorter necklace or chain to match these two longer...

Thank you Parfaitelumiere. I am quite sure this set wasn't made in Asia, not even for the asian market, as it was made from a local jeweler not relevant internationally, but very important here. If they were freshwater, wouldn't they be dyed? And if dyed the inside shouldn't be white? And...

Charlotta, thank you, yes they are in the back, not visible in the daylight and in just one of the pearls. But these are quite big earrings and I don't think she will wear it in daytime haha. The other one the back part isn't smooth, with small craters so both have problems. At least the front...

Sorry to add another post but I was examining one of the earrings and I got very scared. In the part of the back the pearl has a lot of white stains, blemishes. Is it possible to be fake pearls? They look and feel real, cold to the touch and gritty when rubbed against each other and with a nice...

Hello CortezPearls, sorry I didn't thanked you sooner for the prices and explanation, I just now noticed your answer because it appeared like it was a post be me, some bug, haha, and sort of out of order. Let me see if I understood. If natural they are measured and priced by carats. And if the...

Hello StarryPearl and pattye. Thank you for your compliments and information. I was very afraid that wasn't a good purchase, because sometimes you like the item but isn't a good investment, this time it looks like the investment was good, and that's a relief. Here are more pictures, hope they...

I can give you a price range for American Natural Pearls from the Mexican Black Lip (Pinctada mazatlanica) because this is one the species I am very much familiarized with. This price range depends on many factors I am not able to evaluate without actually handling and inspecting the pearls...

Thank you again. If they are cultured or natural besides the difference in price is it possible to say the kind of pearl? Per example, they are akoya or freshwater or south sea or tahitian, or for these kind of baroque pearls that classification isn't applicable? One thing that I do know is...

Hello CortezPearls, thank you. The seller is a lady that bought and got several jewels as a gift and she doesn't understand a lot about pearls. I'm buying some items from her and this set is the one it got me more doubts. I tried to contact the jewelry that made them, they said they will check...

Dear Pattye, Thank you for your answer. I don't think it is a vintage set. It is very recent. The earrings are black rhodium plated. I received no informations about the pearls, I just know it is made of 18k white gold. Do you need better pictures or any kind of tests I can do so you have an...

Hello, I'm buying this earrings and pendant set. The metal part is 18k gold the stones are colored, brownish diamonds. They are from a good jewelry here. The pearls are of a dove gray color. What kind of pearls are they? they have a beautiful shine in person, bluish colored I guess. Are they...

Hello, I always am offered to buy different kind of jewelry and these pearl items caught my attention. Any of it is a good but? What kind of pearls they are, if real pearls? The first one, my favorite, is a double necklace with yellow gold flowers in the front and a platinum clasp, with...

BWeaves, actually the akoya white strand is the one from H. Stern. The long one with yellow gold bars we don't know who made it, I'm sure they are real pearls because I took to a jeweler to appraise, but here nobody understand pearls, they call those pearls biwa and everything else freshwater...

Thank you all. As you may notice I'm a terrible photographer haha. Here are some shots with a napkin, couldn't get a paper towel and in the box of the necklace without a clasp. I remembered it is by H. Stern. The ring was bought in an auction and I checked and it said it was very antique and a...
