Great grandmothers pearls

[rfoth77]

My uncle has given me pearls that he believes were my great grandmothers. I am not sure but I believe these are Mikimoto due to the M mark shown in the picture. I am curious of the value of these two necklaces. I also have one earring so I am assuming that these used to be a set. Please offer me your opinion.

Congratulations. That looks like the Miki 'm'. Lucky you!

It is a double strander, but we can't see it all. We need a full length photo to see the entire necklace laid out. preferably on a dull white surface such as the back of a paper towel. How about a macro shot of the clasp? Is it possible there is a sales receipt somewhere? There are counterfeit Miki clasps, and probably, sending it directly to Mikimoto to reknot it is the best confirmation of its authenticity.

We have a member who has good advice for the owners of Mikimoto brand pearls. You can look at the recent threads to find it or wait for others to come by here.
