Hi. I came across a beautiful ( in pictures) freshwater multi colored pearl necklace. It is from a wholesaler and the price is close to 3,000 dollars.
They are 10 by12 mm in size and the colors look very rich with lots of luster. Their were other necklaces for more money. I’m just not seeing freshwater pearls so high in price.
 
It depends. There are freshwaters and there are freshwaters.

For example, here is a multicolored freshwater (Kasumi) strand from Japan, priced at just under 7K:

Bubbles! Long Japan Kasumi Pearl Necklace

This wonderful 28.5" long necklace features a medley of hand-picked Japan Kasumi smooth round and off-round pearls in golden, sherbet, peach, apricot, and rose hues. The pearls vary in size from 10mm to 14.2mm with metallic luster, iridescent undertones, and very clean and smooth skin. Weight is...

Edison (bead nucleated FWP) from China can also be quite costly if the colors are especially nice and if the pearls are round and have excellent surface.

If the pearls you saw have "very rich colors and lots of luster", 3K may be reasonable, but perhaps the uppermost end of reasonable. I see Edison strands for much less than that on Pearl Paradise, but not multicolored.

Bottom line: shop around.
 
Very fine large Edisons are rare and can cost a lot of money.

For example, PP has a white Edison strand 11.0 to 14.5mm at over 4.5k USD at present.

Yup, need to see more, and to know the specification, such as the sizes of the largest and smallest pearls etc...

And the type, whether they are Edison or not etc...

Hi. All I know is that are high quality freshwater pearls 10.3mm x 12.3mm, This is the wholesale price.
 
Freshwaters that are naturally bright in color and blemish free can cost that much wholesale. There are naturally colored purples out there that are super metallic and rare so they're very expensive. Pearls in general are really just going up in price.

Hopefully, it will be restrung and knotted in between, and what I can see in the photo is temporary.

You have a good eye! Yes these are temporary. Still deciding….
 
Thank you. I’m still not sure how a multi strand will look. Haven’t see it in person yet.
 
The large strands at the highest quality are extremely expensive. Wholesale is in the thousands and even over 10k . But there are lovely strands in the slightly lower quality and just dropping down a few millimetres.
 
Ooh they sold! Wasn't me who bought them but I really wish I could have seen them in candid pictures.

11.0-14.5 mm White Edison Freshwater Pearl Necklace

Round, large and lustrous, this is a statement strand of pearls. Think Wilma Flintstone! It's one of the finest strands of Edison pearls we've ever offered, and there is only one strand available. Available only in the past few years, Edison pearls represent a recent innovation in the freshwater...
