    I have a good problem, but need some help on the piece below. My friend is getting rid of a few nicer items, and we have decided that I sell them, and then ALL PROCEEDS go into our "girls-out-lunch-fund". So her stock, but I do the work, and then we split -- but must be used for lunches out. I'm putting about half on Ebay, half on CL or Nextdoor. It really is fun for both of us. (For some reason, much easier for me to list an item for this purpose than regular listings, AND it helps her part with some things.) I'm picky about what I take and she is okay with that.

    Back to the original question. Not thinking this is hugely valuable (maybe $40?) but don't want to undersell. First off, are these "freshwater pearls"? They have kind of a pink hue. I believe that they are original to the case as they were a gift an there is some additional info that confirms this. This jewelry store does sell some very high end stuff, but also has some more modestly priced things. Naturally I googled their website but there is nothing remotely like this on there. I think they might also offer catalog sales possibly.

    Here is the piece:

    It is connected by stretch wire, which I usually associate with lower end pieces, but have to say this bracelet is well done and fits so cleanly.

    Here's a photo on white so you can see color:

    (You can see where I pinched my thumb folding my 93 year old mother's walker.)

    So I there are a few pieces on Ebay somewhat similar... like here is a single strand that looks a lot alike. It also got me wondering if the spacer beads on the one I'm selling might be 14K??

    For now let's boil the main question down to what kind of pearl. Thanks!

    True, Komokwa they are all near identical. I'm terrible with pearls. They were never really my thing so I failed to educate myself. So cultured, maybe?

    Ditto for cultured. Very nice, Lucille, even with an injured thumb. I hope the thumb doesn't hurt too bad.

    It hurt like He!! when it happened, and was praying I didn't loose a nail. (I play piano so a double concern.) I held ice on it for an hour and held it up to let blood flow down, then a friend said to put Arnica on it, which seemed like a long shot so did that right away, but I have to say it never really got that bad, so maybe the ice and/or Arnica did something. Under the nail but got dark in that one area and doesn't hurt at all now.

    I've opened and closed my mom's walker probably 7000 times without issue. But right as I was unfolding it this time, someone walked by and I looked away as I was doing it to say hello. Won't repeat that.

    So cultured. Thanks!

    Sorry bout your painful finger, I think the pearls are lovely and would make a neat accessory.
