Simpsons sea maid pearls?

[Faith]

Just wondered if anyone has any information about the company. I don't think they're still in business, pretty vintage looking logo inside box. Thank you!

Also JS Lizzadro ltd?

 

[CortezPearls]

Never heard of them before...I would usually associate those names with sellers or producers of faux perles or imitations.

Thanks! I did purchase the lizzadro strand, fingers crossed! Passed up the sea maid though, I'll be posting to get help identifying in a day or so, they'll be here Tuesday at latest!

 

[Shanalotte]

where did you find them?

 

[Faith]

They were up for auction on Ebay a while back, haven't seen any since. The ones from lizzadro were an awesome deal, beautiful Pearl's!

Seamaid pearls only existed from 1960 to 1969 and sold by the Princess Diamond Company Sydney Australia

Don't worry Cherylb8668: I deleted that message with the wrong photo
Well, the strand does look vintage to me. And you did quite a bit of detective work.

They are no longer in business. I have a long strand of these pearls that were my mothers. They are in the original case from Simpson’s, a department store chain that is no longer in business. She would have purchased them in the 1970’s. They have a beautiful lustre. How do I find out their value?

 

[Maddie496&]

These are my late mothers Sea Maid pearls. They are beautiful and I’d love to know what they are worth today

They look like imitation pearls. Like most imitation pearls, their primary value would be sentimental rather than monetary.

There is a common test called the "tooth test", to see if pearls are imitation. Wipe them clean with a soft damp cloth, then rub one of the pearls gently against the edge of your front tooth, or else rub 2 of the pearls gently against one another. Imitation pearls glide smoothly against each other. Real nacre feels gritty.

They look like imitation pearls to me, too.

 

[CortezPearls]

Agree. Imitations.
