<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 521970, member: 210&quot;]I am guessing due to the style of the clasp, I would say circa 1960s, and due to the roundness and lack of blemishes.&nbsp; I have tons of pearls, not just what you see on the table, and the older styles tend to be akoyas.&nbsp; The freshwater craze seems to have started in the 80s with the rice pearls.&nbsp; When you go to the Pearl Factory places, where you can buy an oyster and have the pearl set in a piece of jewelry, they use akoyas.&nbsp; I have a few pieces of them from when I was in San Francisco in 2013, from Fisherman&#039;s Wharf.&nbsp; I have irregular akoyas, sort of baroque, too.&nbsp; The freshwaters, no matter how well made, are never as well matched or as perfectly round, in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
