<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 11957762, member: 2844&quot;]Difficult to say, the photo is small.</p><p>Shape-wise yours could be, but shape is not the most important factor. Basras have a special &#039;depth&#039; of sheen, different from other pearls.</p><p>Basra pearls are no longer found, so you can only find them on antique jewellery or repurposed from antique jewellery. Even when they were still found they were extremely valuable. The hamsa I posted is all gold, dates from ca 1910 and it has Basra pearls. My other chichkhan hamsa is silver and gold, it has natural pearls but no Basras.</p><p>If your hamsa is a Moroccan replica, I would say the pearls can&#039;t be Basra. So another reason to post the marks.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> And a closeup of the pearls please.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
