I'd love to know what you experts out there think of these pearls. I ask merely out of curiousity - I'm not at all interested in the value because this is not my ring and in all likelihood, never will be. (That is my hand in the photo though.) I'm just trying to learn to recognize different types of pearls by sight, like a lot of us here!
When my aunt had this ring appraised many years ago, the pearls were described thusly:
"2 round half drilled pearls are set at the center of the mounting, the larger a light gray South Seas pearl measuring 7.1mm, the smaller a pink South seas pearl measuring 5.6mm"
My question is whether these are indeed South Seas pearls? From my reading, I understood that it's not usual for South Seas pearls to be this small or in these colors. I know there can be a lot of variation but I also know (now, thanks to this forum) that many jewelers don't have a clue about pearls.
I'd love to hear what you think! Here's the ring:
