Sell 10 strand pearl necklace at the Jewelry Exchange by: Anonymous
Michael There are different varieties of Pearls, named according to their form and appearance. Turtle backs are pearls that are slightly longer than they are wide with a domed surface not much elevated and seem to match the description to your pearls. FYI turtle back form is prevalent among American pearls. Although differing little in shape, they are much less expensive than a finer formed pearl.
Baroque pearls (wart pearls in German) are not any perfect form such as round, pear shaped, ovate and covers a large class of varieties except seed pearls and half pearls. Seed pearls are round or irregular and weigh one fourth grain or less. They are often sent from them East in bunches of about a dozen or so strings.
No mention of the age of the pearls, if they are vintage Pearls, they might need re-threading....If you can see any thread between the pearls or there is movement between the pearls, or you can see the thread before the clasp this means the pearls need to be rethreaded and the cost of rethreading 10 strands of tiny pearls could be more than the price of the necklace itself. You can advertise your pearls for free at the Jewelry Exchange.
