Hi Leizi,
Just read your message in the forum. If you can give me your email, we can communicate directly. Or you can email me. I have been living in China for 20+ years and dealing in pearls for several of these years. I think I can help you.
Cheers,
Amrita

Found these beauties in a jewelry box from the goodwill dumpster! would love to know if they are valuable. I’ve done all the DIY tests, like rubbing them on my teeth, and touching them to my cheek, ect… they pass those simple tests. They have screw on backs with 14k marking as well as two other marks, a star and I think a Chinese symbol.The setting is very unique and I can’t find anything online that looks similar or with similar markings. I think they’re just gorgeous though and I wear them every day! I’ll post a few pics in hopes someone has any information that can help.
Good afternoon all. Is anyone able to shed light on the authenticity of these? I can't find much online about this clasp. Approx 18.5 inches. From 1970s. Many thanks.
My name is Christian Forero, my parents bought this pearls (cultered ) in Hong Kong in 1998 to a very big retailer ( don't know the name ) with the intention of making a Pearl Jewerly store which they never did, consecuently the pearls where stored in a safe since the time they were bought.
I have 0 experience regarding pearls and was able to learn a little bit about them through the internet and forums such as this one, i want to sell them at a reasonable price since i have no use for them.
At that time i know they payed around 12,500$ or 21,300$ adjusted for inflation in today's dollar value.
I have checked each price tag and ''each pearl line'' and was able to check the value of the pearls to 19,910$ without including the pearls in the little bags which is a considerable amount of pearls left.
If someone can help me sell them or is interested you are welcome to message me.

Hi. It looks like you normally get rather potato-y elliptical pearls with great luster...yes? And what you got this last time were just big potatoes with flat faces.
I'm in the UK. I may be able to get you what you want. No promises. Can you tell me how many and what you expect to pay per strand?

Anyone know what this double k mark means?
Can anyone tell me what this mark means? Not the 10K but the back p wards and forward Ks please?
Greetings fellow pearl lovers. I have loved jewelry every since I can remember. I am also a trumpet player by profession. The tops of the valves of the trumpet are "Mother of Pearl," hence my screen name.
Recently my mother gave my daughter her 3-strand lovely genuine Akoya 7mm necklace with a diamond clasp. I knew she would never wear the necklace that way so I offered to have it restrung. I sought out some lovely 14K gold bow clasps on Etsy and purchased 3 of them to have them restrung into 2-18" Necklaces and 1-7" Bracelet. I paid to have them shipped to a pearl restringing company in NYC. Upon their return I realized that one of the clasps purchased was defective! Ugh, my mistake for not checking them before sending to be restrung. With hesitation, I cut off the defective clasp and sent it back to the seller for an exchange. When the new clasp came I was not looking forward to properly boxing, taking it to the post office, and paying for shipping, insurance, and yet another restringing job.
So, I said to myself, "How difficult can restringing pearls be?" I got on YouTube and watched several videos on how to restring pearls. I purchased some inexpensive freshwater pearls to practice, and I was off!
Long story short, months later I have become the Mother of Pearl Trumpet!
Let me just say, I'm all about the Clasp with the Pearls.
No "plain Jane" (sorry to anyone named Jane out there) clasps for me. I have found vintage clasps on EBay and had them repaired, polished and then restrung with new or different pearls. It has been so much fun creating new and beautiful pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I love taking the vintage and older, and giving it a fresh look. With the help of my local jeweler (to check for authenticity and handle repairs) I have made some stellar new creations. My profile picture is a double strand of Vintage Akoya pearls 8.5-9mm, creamy white, and an 18K White Gold Rhodium Dipped Clasp with small rubies and a center diamond. This was a European Strand with it's own pearls that will be turned into an Opera Strand with yet another clasp I'm ordering from India.
I plan on creating a thread that will celebrate "Pearls Restrung" and feature pictures of my projects and submit them for fun. I'd love to see yours too, if you want to post.
I even created a new Verb for my craft..."Pearling", now my kids say, Mom is Pearling again.
Looking forward to reading your posts, and posting more of my own creations.
