<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spartcom5, post: 9347334, member: 5213&quot;]Hi all I bought this for $10 and was excited to find the Mikimoto mark on the clasp. The pearls are beautiful and are definitely real. They appear to be of amazing quality with very few imperfections. The box is unmarked but does fit the necklace perfectly. I do have a few questions for the pearl experts here!</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it true that vintage Japanese pearls were only knotted between the first four to five pearls? IF so it is clear that my pearls have been restrung which would make sense due to the age of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>How can anyone prove the pearls are original Mikimoto? Can&#039;t anyone just take a Mikimoto clasp and string random unoriginal pearls on it? </p><p><br /></p><p>How old do my pearls appear to be? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]431233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431234[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431235[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431239[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
