Used and in fair condition I am unsure of the nature of these pearls They pass the grittiness test but unsure if cultured or otherwise Specifications: -the pearls are not knotted, which is typical for pearl necklaces. I did a little reading which states that graduated pearl necklaces sometimes don’t require knotting -there is one end that is broken off. The other end has a 14k stamp At best, you have a vintage pearl necklace needing some repairs At worst, you have a vintage treasure that resembles pearls, that you can use for parts or to restore
