I am Auctioning My Pearl Necklace!

Newest Appraisal 2002 reads: "Ladies sixteen inch strand of cultured pearls measuring approximately sixteen inches long and containing forty-four pearls measuring approximately 7-7.5mm,average, with a medium low luster, medium blemish and cream to white color. The pearls are knotted between each pearl. There is a 14k stamped yellow gold round swirl style catch containing one round 5.8mm cultured pearl set in the center and is surrounded by six cabochon turquoise stones measuring approximately 3-3.25mm average and are light blue to green in color. Appraised for $1,350.00."

1985 appraisal reads: "Single strand cultured pearls, 14 inches long, uniform 7-7 1/2 millimeters. 14k yellow gold clasp set with one pearl and 6 small turquoise. $650.00."

Since I noticed that there was a difference in the length from both appraisals I measured it myself and I measured end to end 15 inches, including clasp and latch!

I have taken a lot of pictures, on different backgrounds, with and without flash. Picture of the two appraisals as well.

This necklace was given to me from my Mother in Law many years ago. I had the pearls appraised in 1985 for insurance purposes then seven years ago (2002)when I decided that I would try to sell them on the bay. I soon realized, after many attempts, that I could not compete with the real jewelers that were selling items from their stores. I was just spending too much in fees. Plus, I am not an expert on jewelry and cannot take returns. I wouldn't know if a diamond was replaced with a zirconium before making it back in the mail! Not that I don't trust people but I don't want a scammer to claim that they mailed my original piece back to me when they surely have not! Again, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference!

I still would like to sell them because I have no need of them any longer. I have two adult sons and they would have no use of my jewelry. I thought about taking them to a pawn shop but that will be my very last resort. I will send copies of the two appraisals with the necklace.

I sell a lot of used, older and garage sale items. Items which, often times, have been in someone's attic or basement for a long time. On occasion I, also, sell items for friends. I try to describe items as best as I can but I do not scrutinize their life styles to find out if they smoke now or quit 10 years ago. Paper and cardboard items can hold noxious odors for a long time. I simply take the item, try to clean it without damaging it and list it for them or myself. Also, I am the proud owner of two Cats. It is quite possible that a wayward cat hair or dander might come into contact with an item I might be selling or packing. So, if you have an aversion to the above PLEASE DO NOT BID on my auctions.

Thank you for stopping by and do check my other auctions if you have time. Have a great day!
