Value of my mother's natural baroque pearls?

[Caitlin]

What is IGA certification and what do they say the pearls are? Are you sure you don't mean GIA?

Please go back to page one of this thread to see good pictures--very accurate, on my monitor, at least.

Anyone with good leads to a buyer, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

Hi ladywolf, make sure the Auction House puts a reserve on them for you.

Good luck and hope times get easier for you.

That sounds like certified American freshwater pearls. How lucky you are. I wonder who would be in the market for them? That is such a rare item, There are no comparable pieces on the market.

Have you contacted Kojima pearls? They have handled unusual pearls for years. They have some naturals and some Kasumis at high prices. You can PM her from here or go to her website.
