It doesn't look like a pearl to me.

Where did you find it?

 

[Abdelaboo]

In an old box. i have never seen that before. the pearl was held in an old masterpiece (jewish maybe)

The large bead does not look like a pearl to me.

 

[Abdelaboo]

The small bead above just for comparison. i took other pictures

They are just beads. I see the big drill holes there, typically glass beads.

That large ball may be glazed ceramic.

This is clam non nacreous pearl

I don't think so, but you could always send it to a laboratory that is able to test pearls, such as the GIA, for identification.

let's suppose it's a real pearl. how much it worth ?

 

[Pearl Dreams]

It would probably be hard to sell it without certification from a proper lab.

Abdelaboo,

Did you already drill a hole?

 

[Abdelaboo]

No i didn't drill a hole. i bought it from antique store as seems in the picture

Thanks to all

It's okay to find a bargain and hope for a windfall, but this is NOT A PEARL. It has no value and will not be taken seriously by anyone. Sorry.

 

[Abdelaboo]

you wish me all the best luck in selling. At the same time wish me bad luck !
anyway. The laboratory has the right to decide if this is a pearl OR NOT

Very important informations about calcareous pearls

Yes, I have that book, too, pages 90-95, but look again at the photos! The giant clam pearls do not really look like your sphere, other than being white...and some are not even that white, and certainly not so round. The surface also looks different.

A gem lab that tests pearls is the best way to be sure, if you really want to know. Certainly if you want to be able to sell it, a certificate will make all the difference.
I have nothing more to add to this discussion so I'm out now. But you may wish to look at Kari Pearls and The Pearl Collector websites.
