the captions didn't indicate the type of pearl, but they look like American river pearls to me, Anna.

Really beautiful! Art nouveau happens to be a favorite of mine as well. And I really love the renaissance revival pieces!

Oooh, I missed this thread while traveling ... thanks MSC for bumping it. And many thanks to Sheri for giving us a look at these treasures. They sure deserve to be seen right side up, hopefully ...
