On the ground, said: "The Black Hand pearl necklace, purchased while he was in Italy." It is black with orange beads between pearls shapes. It's more like mother of pearl to me, but black throws me. Beads may be true, but make sure you really need professional evaluations or expert gemologist or estate jewelry.
Another way to tell if they are real, is a pearl against your teeth for grinding. If it is smooth, it is not realistic. Pearls have wish pearl cage pendant always been rough, you can not see visually. Orange balls may be coral. If they are real black pearls, their value will be the size, quality and color. The fact that someone with a practical test can not be determined.
People ask me, the jewel of the antique necklace and a potential buyer to know how the pearls were "signed" up for sale. In general, in ancient terms, and even some new, signed simply means a way to identify the manufacturer or designer. Antique glass, for example, bar the press, or chop on the glass. Some antique costume jewelry is "signed" includes a brand decision-making and increase the value, if the manufacturer is one of the most popular at the time.
For pearls, a "sign" difficult. The only place for the signature or of the sign, usually on the box clasp. It's either a zip or "language" that is more body stiffening. Seals can be changed when the beads restrung and signed clasp can always suspect that the real "players" pearls. When one or cultured pearls, the value is probably more in the pearls in the "signature".
If they are pearls of imagination, the share of the cost of signature and status bit. The condition of the balls may be more imprtant, that the state of cables that will be used and must be performed regularly stringing.Stringing pearls are worn often.
I have not seen pearls "signed" very often, and as I said, we can assume that for accuracy. Investigation of the loop after a few brands to see if there is no name or "brand" is used. This is a signature that you are.
Well, the potential buyer to make a costume or beads may again be asked, and I do not know that the buyer is looking for the request! It is best to look for a buyer for the ball and give you a price. If you do not like the price, simply refuse. Some buyers are in business to provide the elements and only the purchase price significantly below market value.
You can take the train to qualified jeweler for an evaluation. If the pearls are costume jewelry should be able to tell right away and said a full assessment. If they are real pearls, the jeweler can evaluate the partition on the ball, not the old value. There are at least a starting point.
I can not see your pearl brooch but assume the pearls radiate in some floral, perhaps, to "stalk" or as part of the "Flowers". If this happens, you have a little space between the granules, to facilitate the cleaning process. If the balls are grouped a lot of gold, cleaning will be more time-consuming and difficult.
I'll do some cleaning at the time: firstly, to consider maintenance and cleaning of pearls in general. In short, the cleaning of contact will be reduced to baking soda, polishing cloth and mild detergent good decorations. They can do to a jeweler for cleaning. I go further into details.
"Pearls". The composition of pearls, and why is done with the cleaning and wear. Pearls are formed naturally in freshwater snails and salt water for a while. The most famous pearls Sea pearls in different shapes in pearl oysters. Although the pearls "eastern" or completely natural precious stones were in the past, pearl farming to supply cultured pearls, which would be impossible for wild oysters and the efforts of pearls.
Just bring happiness freestyle oysters for a single pearl and happy environment, natural pearl is formed, lead looks smooth and beautiful. In pearl farms, many controlled conditions to ensure a good crop but today wholesale pearl oysters pollution inhibits the growth and supply of fine cultured pearls.
Shapes of pearls around certain types of foreign object inside the oyster shells. In Pearl, the object of the pearl nacre (pearl) placed in a pearl oyster farmers. Seeing the object as irritation, an oyster covers the object layer and a layer of material called nacre. This is essentially the same material and shine gloss finish.
Nacre aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate. A kind of "pearl glue" holds together microscopic plates of aragonite. While oyster is healthy, thick nacre and the shape of the nucleus, the development of the gloss and shine, we recognize as a pearl.
Why all this information? There's a reason: aragonite or calcium carbonate. Such is the nacre content. This material is soft compared to earth formed stones. This material is easy to acids, chemicals and abrasion. Cleaning procedure is normally used for mineral stones can not be safely used to clean the tarnished metal and pearls at the same time. If one gold medal may be elements of a soft acid to remove tarnish and polish to restore gloss, the same mild acid will attack the Pearl, and may even disappear.
"What should I avoid when cleaning pearl jewelry? Just as important as cleaning jewelry knowing that the use of "no" as detergent. Commercial cleaning fluids jewelry too strong for pearls. Most of these cleaners contain ammonia and can cause damage to pearls, reducing the brightness. Jewelry cleaner to remove tarnish very inefficient and are aimed at the elimination of free and to remove dirt and impurities clearer.
Avoid cleaning products containing ammonia, chlorine or abrasives added. Avoid jewelry or silver polishing clothes layer of ruby red. Red polish, but the red material (iron oxide) can be easily introduced into the wells of hidden treasures and change the look of pearls shabby.
"What used to remove the beads and clean tarnish from metal?" Oh my God, now we are entering the base elbow grease! At home cleaning in the safest way to make a wet paste of baking soda and gently rub the metal. If the tarnish is not difficult to remove abrasive nature of the soft wet ash. to rub your fingers on the metal with a soft brush or damp as a toothpick or a cotton swab in the ear-reach areas. To restore the shine of metal, then a good quality polishing cloth metal jewelry.
I recommend one of the chemically-treated fabrics, such as "Sunshine tissue" from a supplier of jewelry and tools. Other similar fabrics are available in jewelry stores. Frankly, many of the jewelry store did not know a great extent on the sale of vacuum. So be sure not to get the hang of the Khmer Rouge layer, although it is recommended. craft shops and jewelry stores, often as a source of the Rio Grande and should be able to provide a "Sunshine Cloth" will teach you. How sad for other similar materials, light action promptly removed. With soft lighting, you can use a tissue and omit baking soda. These fabrics are used "as is" and ignored when using.
Follow this treatment for a quick rinse in a mild detergent is a good idea. This will remove all remnants. Just a mild detergent such as Joy (remember, no ammonia!) By wiping gently with your fingers, then rinse with warm water and dry. That's it.
"Safety of pearls". When cleaning the pin, gently understand each pearl and see if the mounting surface or stem rotates in the settings. If the metal rod, the ball must be removed and re-cemented with epoxy cement in two distinct parts. It would probably work for jewelry making. If free in fixing claw or PIN-code, a jeweler can tighten quickly and easily.
"Cleaning the jewel." You may decide that a jeweler clean the spit and to ensure its pearls. If the beads are removed and reinforced, and a pearl pin can be removed by machine polished to near mint condition, without fear of wish pearl bracelets damaging the ball. If you clean pearls intact, the use of fine jewelry rotary brush buff tarnish. Then everything is cleaned in a mild detergent solution generally using ultrasound.
Before you do the things I suggeted, you should go see jewelry and ask him some questions that I just mentioned. This includes all the basic coverage, and you will not violate the beads.
