<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 2377894, member: 210"]Yes, please look at the clasps, especially the pearls that are not spherical. The multi-strand pearl necklace with the goldtone clasp in your second picture,- it may be 14k as well as the clasp on the on the other strand. I do believe those are genuine pearls. The pearls in your picture number 8- the long double strand with the safety catch on the clasp, could be real, could be faux pearls, I have seen both with these clasps. I am leaning towards real due to the shape of the pearls, but you would need to tooth test an end pearl gently near the clasp. Hope for gritty. The cluster earrings- any markings on them? That type of clasp usually indicates costume, but not always, and the pearls seem to be varying in shades and sizes. I will bet all the pearls in that picture are genuine, but you need to test for gritty with your teeth, gently, because you will cause faux pearls to peel if you rub too hard. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am loving the coral necklace. Let us know if you are selling the jewelry online in an auction or otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
