Identifying Vintage Costume Jewelry: Crowned Pearl Necklace & Earrings


Question
i accquired a strand of pearls for my grandma and matching clip earrings the cream jewelry boxes they came in have golden trim and a gold crown any clues? i wore them about 20 years ago to my prom and then i thought they were old...

Answer
Hello Kimberly and thank you for your inquiry. I have checked my resources and can find no crown mark on a pearl costume jewelry manufacturer. I assume these are costume ? If not, you might want to have them professional appraised. Good vintage pearls are hard to find but are also prone to breakage. If they are of value to you, you might want to have them restrung for safety. If I locate the mark you describe, I'll be sure to let you know. Sorry I couldn't be of any further assistance.
