Item specifics - Antiquities
Original/Reproduction: OriginalEra: 1800s
Originating Region: Europe  

Here is a strand of pearls with a truly beautiful clasp. It is 44 cm in total length.

With it is a pair of screw on pearl earrings.

Now this is the puzzle. The clasp for the necklace is a very high grade of silver. It is hallmarked 935 HB and the front has the most amazing detail. And yet I dont think that the pearls are genuine pearls. Very strange.

The earrings, on the other hand, do seem to be genuine pearls, but I cannot find any silver marks.

I know the age of these pieces as they belonged to my great aunt. She was a lady of very good taste., which is why I am so surprised that the necklace pearls may not be pearls at all.

Anyway, here they are on offer.

I invite you to browse through my other pieces.

Happy bidding.

A: Thank you for that. I have done what you said and they both feel a bit scratchy. But I would not like to say one way or another because I am not an expert. It just seems strange to me that you would put high quality silver... Continue reading
