    Thanks, AJ, I was thinking the pearls are original to the piece, and they look pretty recently harvested to me! I never considered that they could be replacement pearls lol.

    Hope not literally. When rocks go Boom, it tends to hurt a bit.

    I have no trouble seeing the pearls as original to the piece, if it did not receive that much handling.

    The hinge looks pretty modern. The soldered on tag is fairly modern. I've never seen the rice crispies on old jewelry.

    If you suspend this using the loop next to the hinge, does it hang straight?
