<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 322710, member: 5833"]I may not be interpreting the photos correctly, but looks to me as though each pearl is in its own little cup, which makes me think they are not half pearls. The visible parts look like more than half. Also think I'm seeing a little bump on each cup, suggesting that pearls are mounted on posts. I like the sharpness of the edges where the facets of the stone meet. A well-made, high quality piece with either a genuine amethyst or good paste; pin stem possibly a replacement. IMHO. Are the dark spots visible on the back just bits of grime or inclusions in the stone?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
