[QUOTE="stracci, post: 3482337, member: 13814"]Neither akoya nor keshi!! Your necklace is made of freshwater rice pearls grown in mollusks. See photo below. [IMG]https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.vpRlyPG8u7IQulwccwEl8QHaHa&pid=Api&P=0&w=300&h=300[/IMG] Akoya pearls are from saltwater oysters and are bead nucleated. They are very round or sometimes baroque.
