What do these look like?

[massrog]

Hi All, I've been away for a while but thought I'd seek expertise! My wife finally purchased a strand for herself! Now I would like to get opinions on what they are! They were billed as goldens from Mikimoto and have a Miki clasp but the images were not complete and don't show a charm. The lustre and color are something I don't necessarily associate with golden SS but at 9-12mm they seem slightly outside Akoya parameters?


Thanks as always! RogerG

Are these photos you took, RogerG? These appear to be SS goldens with lovely overtones. Interesting clasp, too.

These look like Bonafide golden SSPs...and as @pattye mentioned: they have very lovely overtones. The clasp is also very interesting.
Good silky luster!

I love the pink and green overtones over the "karat gold." I love the clasp. Looks like this strand:

Not everyone loves that M dangle. I would have it removed if it were my strand. But the M dangle might be behind the neck in the photos.

Hi Pattye, I didn't take these pics. They are from the vendor (I'm not that good). I plan on posting fresh pics when it arrives.

Thanks for weighing in Douglas! The overtones are what was throwing me as I'm used to more Metal like colors with a less "glassy" surface on the golden SSP's I've seen.

Hi BWeaves! I was thinking the overtones caused the color to be much paler than the ones in that strand and that threw mw a bit. You may be right about the charm possibly not shown as none of the pics showed the4-5 pearls beyond 5 from the clasp on either side.
