YES, unhook the pearls to measure the length of each strand. You might also like to measure the diameter of the pearls, also ascertain if the pearls are uniform in size or graduating.

I am Sherri, the one with the Majorica Pearls. Is there anyway to upload photos on here? I took some photos of the Majorica Pearls. There is some kind of Mark on the clasp on the pearls. I have the original red box & paperwork inside. Looks like they were never even worn. when you measure the pearls, do you unhook them? I know nothing about Pearls.
Information On Majorica Pearls Barcelona, Spain by: Anonymous
Hi
are the three strands all Majorica Pearls? Majorica are one of the best names in Simulated Pearls. Simulated Pearls are meant to resemble NATURAL PEARLS.
If you have the original box, this will increase the value. The Condition of the Pearls is important, but if they have been well cared for, and having been kept in their original box, this will also help to increase the value.
