What Kind of Pearls?

[Beckus]

Dear Pearl Experts,

Kindly help me determine what kind of pearls are these. I bought these necklace online, 14k clasp, 30 cm long, 9-11 mm diameter long.

Thank you!

This looks like an older strand of Chinese freshwater fireballs.

Thank you, jshepherd! I bought this strand for 200 USD. Is this expensive for a freshwater pearl?

 

[jshepherd]

I think that's pretty good for what you have!
