Could these be south sea pearls?

[Pearl Dreams]

But you know, kian, if you are wondering what 13-15mm baroque WSS would cost, just go online and see what various vendors (again, not eBay) are selling them for.

The baroque and ringed ones are quite a bit less costly than round ones (even though they are quite a bit more costly than FWP.)

If you want to learn a LOT more about pearls, I recommend Elizabeth Strack's book, Pearls.

GIA sells it:

Thanks Jeremy! I really appreciate your inputs. And yes, when you're in the Philippines, when you say South Sea it refers to Mindanao, the Southern part of the Philippines. So when you ask where is South Seas everybody will say in chorus, "Mindanao"
