<p>[QUOTE="tyeldom3, post: 215934, member: 43"]Thank you Aquitaine, King, Komokwa, Holly Blue & Any Jewelry! Once again y'all are awesome and appreciated.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I'm still on the fence about this being a marriage....I really don't think it is. The findings on all ends are exactly the same, and I just don't think that if someone cut a pearl necklace they would add the same findings near the clasp end.....but again I digress to the experts as I just don't have much knowledge. Anyway, regardless if it is, or isn't I agree it's lovely. I think I will just list it with stating that it's possibly a marriage, and leave it at that. I think the blackened areas are from use, as they do brighten back to gold when attempting to clean them.</p><p>Am I correct in calling the pearls Akoya? They are about 5mm and they are real.</p><p>I have no clue how to price it, so was just thinking maybe start it at around $200., with a 7 day auction. It weighs a little over 17 grams, but of course I don't know the actual gold weight. What do you think? Also, not knowing the grade of the garnets, I just don't know....?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>LOL @ Any jewelry!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> Sounds like a beautiful pairing though!! I did give it another cleaning, but with that black area being right next to the pearls, I am unable to give it a good cleaning like I'd like to, in fear of ruining the pearls, so it only looks a little better than it did before.</p><p>Thanks again everyone for your help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
