<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 13111394, member: 36"]I don't see any real ones. The paint/coating is totally worn off of the clasp on the third one. The metal is down to the bare brass too. Older pearls are usually knotted and rarely strung with a costume clasp. In fact they were more likely to use a precious metal clasp on costume pearls than a costume one on real pearls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
