Identify maker and type of pearls

[cherish]

Hello, I am hoping someone knows this maker mark and can help me identify these beautiful pearls... they are gritty when rubbed together, 11mm size, 14k clasp with maker mark shown in zoomed in photo... sorry it is a bit grainy as I could not focus any closer. These are very pretty and I'd love to identify them if possible. Thank you all so much. P.S. This is my first post so apologies if I missed anything!

Hello Cherish and welcome to our pearl loving forum

These are good photos and the pearl size (11 mm) alongside the shape and color of the pearls leads me to believe these are Chinese freshwater pearls. Nice color by the way

Thank you for your reply Douglas. These are definitely a gorgeous color!

Any idea from anyone on the circle / sun like mark on the clasp? Thank you kindly!!
