They look to me natural as they are slightly different in shape and size, and have some tiny imperfections seen through the magnifying glasses, they are about 7-8 mm in diameter. Knotted strands also point to natural. If natural, are they freshwater or sea pearls, is it possible to distinguish? Haven't done the teeth test but somehow it does not feel natural to put pearls in my mouth <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. They look also quite recent, any idea about the origin - Chinese? No marks as far as I saw.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Thank you for looking, any thoughts are welcome!</font></p><p><font size="4">[ATTACH=full]431493[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]431495[/ATTACH] </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
