Suggested Retail Price??

[Trixie61]

Could anyone share their idea on what the high end retail would be on these pearls? I am donating these as an auction item during a local "Wounded Warriors" event soon. They are 12-15mm, natural freshwater, 50 pearls totaling 24" and AA+ grade.

Thank you!

What you have are bead-nucleated, cultured freshwater pearls that are of the same genre of ripple strands.

There is a huge variance in wholesale pricing from as little as $10 per strand to special strands that come from just one company I know of that range from $1,500 to more than $2000 per strand. The strand in the photo is in the lower range of quality, but a decently large size and extra length, giving it a bit more value.

For boutique high retail, I don't think $1000 would be completely unreasonable.
