<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 27423, member: 51&quot;]Thank you Shiloh for showing the ones you have, plus the link very helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sharona, I probably will bring them by a jewelers just to be sure.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a great older timer friendly jeweler like you do, but I did do business with one place last year and they made some money on me, so maybe they would be willing to take a look.&nbsp; Up until this point I had no idea how to tell the difference with pearls unless it was totally obvious like finish peeling off or something.&nbsp; But this purchase has changed my eye a bit.&nbsp; I feel like I&#039;m holding beads I&#039;ve never held before. There is a certain weight, and if these do turn out to be the real deal, I&#039;ll now know what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Komokwa, this sounds strange, but I&#039;d rather look at them than wear them, so I should probably sell them!</p><p><br /></p><p>Susang, thanks for the tip on the clasp.&nbsp; I did not see any other marks, no matter how small, but maybe these are Portuguese.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will report back if I do make it to the jewelers.&nbsp; Probably at some point after Thanksgiving.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
