<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4297529, member: 5833"]Do the 'tooth test' recommended by Lark. Rub the pearls against your teeth. If they feel like glass, they probably are. Also, it would be unusual for fine pearls not to be knotted, & these don't look like they are. Guessing grandma is same generation as my mother. I have a number of strands of artificial pearls that were hers from the period approx. 1942 - 1956. Clasps are often silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
