I picked up this vintage graduated pearl necklace the other day. They were sold to me as akoyas - I honestly wouldn't know the difference either way! How can you tell?
They are a lovely cream body color with pinkish overtones. I don't see any pink around the drill holes so it doesn't look like they were pinked... again, I'm not sure I have the best trained eyes though.
They also have great luster as I can easily see my reflection in them. I'll be re-stringing them this week as the stringing is old and stretched between the pearls.
