<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 497523, member: 36"]Real cultured pearls generally weigh less than costume ones made of glass. It's impossible to say from here, but given those corroded brass cord ends I'm still guessing they're not real. Makers in the 50s and 60s put sterling clasps on costume pearls, at least on the nicer ones. A big heavy double strand like that would have gold findings in all likelihood if they were real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
