Hello All,
I was going through an old box of jewelry from my (step) great grandmother. These were her pearls. I would imagine she wore these in the 1960s/1970s or so, but I am not sure, as I was not yet born.
I was going to throw them away because they look awfully wrecked and no one would wear them in their present state. All the "pearls" have peeled and I don't even know if they are real to begin with.
There are two necklaces that came in a pouch that says "Bronzini Pearls- 14Kt gold clasp, genuine hand knotted". This pouch just confuses me however, because neither of the clasps appear to be 14kt gold, so I am not sure which necklace the pouch corresponds to, if either of them even do.
Any guidance or information would be appreciated. I have looked at other threads and it seems that a lot of people have mentioned MOPs and glass beads being used, so perhaps that's what I am seeing. Maybe these are just costume jewelry necklaces. This lady owned a lot of "Lisner" and other popular costume items from that time, so it would not come as a surprise to me if these were costume as well.
I don't know what to do with these pearls. I am a very sentimental person, and even though this lady was not a blood relative, I still wanted to check before discarding.
Thank you!
