when put to the scratch test, these cultured pearls hold their own. this is a heavy piece, as i've described. i am happy to answer any more questions you have in mind.
happy friday!

even if it looks Indian, it is not. Real Black Pearls are only found in French Polynesia. These look like they could be nearly perfects.. which means that you have almost $2,500.00 in pearls alone on that piece. If the abalone is vintage, the fan parts are worth about $350.00 Normally I don't bother to comment, but I am an international minister, self sustained. I do bead work to pay for my mission and my business partner is from Tahiti. I just wanted you to know what the worth of the necklace was, The bets test though for pearls is the burn test. If they are real, they won't burn. The soot from a lighter would simply wipe off. That is how we do it all the time, and it doesn't leave marks on your pearls.

did burn test. check! the one reason i doubted their polynessian origin was that i had not seen gallery quality pieces from the 70's. with these findings, however, the barrel clasp now makes sense! this is a learning experience, thanks everyone for your understanding.

contact a California pearl company. They usually deal in real black pearls and can help you get an actual value. Even if those pearls are dyed fresh water. You still have a VERY expensive piece of art there. Best wishes.

i have a set of dyed freshwater. there is no comparison. they are so perfect, one customer said they were beads! i was starting to doubt myself.
