Hello,

I am looking for some assistance in identifying the type of pearl necklace that I have as well as the size of the pearl. Are they freshwater or Akoya? I bought the necklace at auction. When I went to the jewelers to pick up a few things I took the necklace with me. I asked if the pearls were real and she said yes. She didn't give me any other details and I didn't want to bother as they were very busy at the time. They do feel gritty when rubbed together. The necklace is hand knotted, 18 1/8" long with 14K gold clasp and 12.3g weight. Thank you advance for your expertise and time.

I'd say they are akoya pearls. Based on the number of pearls, the number of knots and the length of the necklace the pearls have to be in the range of 4.5-5mm.
