The "Pearl Gods" have heard your plight and will answer.. O Lord! I had such a great time with your punchline! Thank you for that @GigglesOfDefeat :arms: I have to agree with @BWeaves : feels like an imitation pearl strand.

This looks like an cultured Akoya pearl. This is the way one must go through life: If you find a pearl, you must assume it is a cultured pearl unless you see something that makes you believe it is an imitation (fake) pearl...and rarely will it be a natural one. Unless -of course- you are with...

Happy to be of help! Enjoy wearing your necklace!

I love the: "Definitively not a Scam" line.

I sure hope you got a reputable Gem lab certificate for the pearl. If not: definitively not a natural pearl. The item sure looks like it has a cultured freshwater pearl, again: set in a 1970's style, low-grade silver ring. For 15 Euros it is a fair price and surely not worth more.

Yes, if you truly believe the pearl necklace is an authentic natural Persian Gulf pearl: You MUST have the pearls analyzed and a certificate provided.

Hi there JSP! This does indeed look like a mixed strand of "Black Akoya" and freshwater pearls. Very nice looking! The white freshwater pearls seem to be symmetrical, so they would be called semi-baroques. The central pearl looks somewhat caught in the middle of being a drop and an oval.

I agree

TRANSLATION: FIRE TEST and polishes are flying :)) How can I clean these polishes other than fire? I think they were made a long time ago and it takes a lot of time with fire and the pearl color under the polish is much more beautiful, also 11mm this pearl is a Gulf pearl I think or what are...

Happy weekend to you all!

I see it is almost 86% silver...but you cannot Carbon date a piece of jewelry like this one, unless it has shell, bone, wood, leather...organic stuff. The pearls does count for carbon dating, but this is not what you have done. Spectral analysis will not tell you the age of a piece of jewellery...

And all quite intended! 😂

How old? The style looks very 1970's to me? It definitively does not look old to my standards...500 years or more. No silver patina...I mean. And found in an old place does not mean it is from there at all! A tourist could have worn it last week, lost it there and then you simply find it.

Looks like a baroque pearl, previously used as a pendant, hence the drill hole. Ring seems to be made of silver, large setting...looks like some old style made in Taxco, Mexico.

Hi there Sam. I feel as if you are not posting with true interest, but more in a "spammy" way. Please reply with intent.

I don't know exactly what the Japanese do. I tried reaching out to one producer for information to use on our site, but to no avail. I believe it would be a special polishing agent or system. We achieved similar results with Cortez Mabe when we used aggressive polishing, but the exterior looked...

I agree with @Lagoon Island Pearls The evidence presented is mainly wishful thinking. Having the pearls examined by a lab is the only solution.

OMG! This is absolutely STUNNING Jeg!

Hello there @LorenLL That is one very nice Mabe pearl, albeit unusual looking. I really like special looking pearls. I believe the main difference amongst Mabe pearls is due to the species (of course!) but also on the processing of the pearls. Whereas some undergoe intensive processing, others...
