[QUOTE="KSW, post: 1432866, member: 8708"]I was inspired by my other post to teeth test my considerable hoard of pearls to try to educate my palate as to when a pearl isn’t a pearl. The conclusion is that 98% of my collection are not real pearls (and I feel slightly ill :meh:)but I did find this gem. No idea how I missed it the first time but suspect I acquired it before I came on the forum. Nice and gritty and a 750 stamp on the clasp. Filthy as you can see as this was after a quick wash but look at the iridescence!. These have got to be real?. Desperate to be restrung as the thread is manky and black. Thanks for looking:-) [ATTACH=full]223980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
