<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 2207459, member: 13430"]The pearl feels kind of rough on the tooth. Not exactly like sandpaper, but definitely not like glass. I now think it's likely a real pearl. For the family this is from, if it's after the 1940's costume or real jewelry are both possibilities, but before 1940's they were wealthy enough (and before 1910, famously wealthy) to acquire very nice things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
