I'd guess that the clasp is a pretty standard manufactured clasp. 585 is 14k gold. It's a ball clasp that you can still buy. The are decent quality but certainly not a gem grade. I can't help with valuation as Akoya aren't my thing . But I'm sure Jeremy can tell you all about them.

Slightly on topic... MOP .. does anyone know where to find high quality carved disks for pendants ?

Where does the time go ?? BWeaves, thank goodness you survived that terrible storm with no damage ! My Brother and sister in law had just moved to SC around Greenville and I was worried but no damage..just power lost for awhile. But poor Ashville ...I've been there many times and could not...

So teeny ! My fat fingers have a terrible time with those little ones ! Very Cute !

Really interesting - hopefully This means that most of the purple we are now buying are natural colour. I must say...I don't think Im ready for Red pearls..

So many beautiful pearls Eoilian - the lustre on all those pearls is beautiful Jeg - Jeremy is so right...that Wave photo is truly magazine worthy . What a gorgeous piece @

That WAVE ! :love:

Everything looks so lovely , you do layer things beautifully !

585 generally means 14k I'd imagine that the first mark is a manufacturers mark.

Definitely the wrong place to ask. I'm on IG and generally can't stand influencers and certainly wouldn't be swayed by one.

I love the little diamond beads .. I've done pieces with little black spinel as well. As Sarah commented the fine beading wire is probably the best on those little sharp holes. And you don't need a needle - just poke it through. It drapes pretty well.. not quite like thread but pretty good...

It's very pretty ! I'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to shorten. If you remove the final pearls from each end for around 16 mm ( including knots ) or the final two that's about 28-30 mm (including knots ) . That at least keeps the 3 pearl / spacer pattern for the majority of the...

So pretty ! And so much work ! My patience certainly would not allow me to attempt such pieces... I'd probably throw them across the room at some point lol.

Definitely ask for a few more photos that are not under a light box . The colours may not be that intense looking in most conditions.

Good grief that is enormous !! never seen a round one that size before !

Yes 2thdktr ... I was surprised by the use of Keshi instead of baroque. If it's nucleated then as I've always understood then it can't be Keshi. In the same vein, I've seen a lot of pearls trecently hat are being described as Keshi that are small oval and semi round very symmetrical in shape...

If its just in the one spot on each pearl.. I use a Cue tip / cotton bud to dip in adhesive remover and just gently rub it off .

They are very black .... still hard to tell with the photos.. sorry.

Pomelo - I love Keshi studs. They generally lay pretty flat and have all that flattish surface to add presence . The little hills and valleys catch the light beautifully. jeg - Lovely pearls - those sweet little teeny kasha....glad my fat fingers didn't have to string them !! BWeaves -...
