What kind of pearls do I have and are they worth anything?

Hello, I have that necklace with 53 inches long, I would like to know the kind of pearls and value to sell it (if any).

Thank you very much.


(if the photos aren't good I can upload a few more)

Is that table green? A couple more photos would help. On a dull white background in indirect light. How about one with a part of the strand showing closeup. What is the MM? Pick a part with the most banding or irregularities.

From the variation in sizes and the couple of pearls with bands, My first guess is freshwater. Value will partly depend on the size of the pearls. It is worth more as a necklace than as a strand of pearls.

I found this one 6mm, 100".

What size are they? The larger, the better for resale.

They are 6mm. If these are like the one you showed on the link no use selling them . Thought it was more expensive.

I know. I think they are very wearable pearls. They are quite pretty. Perhaps you could get them strung or learn how to knot yourself, then give it away.

Hi,

They are very attractive pearls. Was this a continuous strand that broke? Or was the clasp removed? Plenty of pearls for necklace and bracelet if you wanted to wear them, or just restring as ropes are very popular now.
