Hello everybody,
I recently acquired this strand second-hand. It has only just occured to me to look up brown Tahitians, and I see from Pearl Paradise that they are apparently all dyed.
You will see they are not round, but are uniformly not round, so each pearl is 11mm 'vertically' and 10mm from drill hole to drill hole.
The 36 pearls weight 68 grams, so about 1.9 grams per pearl.
I wondered if you guys could help me with a few things:
i) Are they actually Tahitians;
ii) Are they dyed/treated;
iii) What would have been a reasonable price to pay for them used (a difficult question I know, but for example, would $2000 be about right, or $200, or $20! Ballparks are fine...)
I've tried to concentrate on getting pictures of the pearls with blemishes, and on capturing some of the drill-holes. (If you see any white debris that is dust )
Thanks for reading my post,
Best wishes
