Value of Tahitian Black Pearl South Sea Baroque Pearl Strand

by Sheila
(California)

I have a 17" strand of baroque black charcoal gray with green overtones and high luster, minimum blemishes very well matched pearls graduated ranging in size from 18.00 mm-13.00 mm "drop, circled over 1/3 of body, strand. The owner wants

an updated appraisal and is looking for pearls to make a matching bracelet.

Strand originally purchased in Beverly Hills many years ago as gift, so she doesn't even have a clue as to original purchase price, but money is not an object in this case. I am pulling my hair out over this one. If you have any info, I'd be thrilled. I am an independent jewelry appraiser, and I could use any assistance you can give me.
