[REVPEARLer]

Hey everyone,
These were passed to me from a relative. Origin is not known.

The larger size range from 7-11 mm
The smaller size is about 4mm

Photos taken with microscope. Any info is appreciated

Welcome to the forum!
These are interesting photos, but we also need you to put the pearls on a white paper towel or something similar. They don't need to be magnified. We need to see how many pearls, and look at their overall characteristics, roundness, luster, blemishes - things like this. We look forward to seeing more photos

hello, thank you for taking the time to look at what I have. Here are the pearls(?)!


what do you think?

All freshwater pearls from China, rather low quality.

Ah, these are all freshwater pearls (cultured) from China. They don't have a high value, but someone who crafts can have fun using them to make jewelry. Thank you very much for the additional photos.
