What kind of pearls are these?

[Tropicalpearl]

I’m new to the forum and the learning curve for posting is steep .
I’ll try . I uploaded five photos but only one is attached. This is a 14k ring a bough today at an antique store. Love the colors ..just curious what I have.

It looks like it's composed of baroque akoya pearls, very possibly of natural color. That's a rare find.

Those are gorgeous deep blue akoyas. Very pretty.

I would love to see the photo of the entire piece!

 

[Tropicalpearl]

Thanks for the replies . I’ll try to post more photos. The pearls look bigger in the photos than they really are.

Still trying to send attachments of ring

Posting seams to be the only way I can get “attachment” to show up on my iPad.
So... I’ll try again to get a full shot of the ring .

What an unusual and distinctive piece, surely one-of-a-kind! Great find! Congratulations! Are there markings inside the band?

Wow that is an unusual find !! The pearls have amazing colour - you did well !!!

 

[BWeaves]

I love it. That is a great find. Make sure you don't get cleaning fluids or acids (vinegar, tomato, orange juice, etc.) on the pearls, as that will eat into the nacre.

I absolutely love it. Reminds me very much of a remount project I did for another PGer using blue akoyas on an estate gold ring setting she had.

Thanks ! I’ll take good care of it.
