I've never seen (what I believe are) natural pearls before, they're varying in shape and color, but are all generally the same size (8mm-ish). The whole necklace feels fairly heavy (I was shocked when I picked it up!), and there's a variety of colors from more white ish/cream colored, to peach and lavender. The clasp on the silver bead reads 925. They vary widely in shape (some rounder, some more oblong), with banding present on most and very few being close to perfectly spherical. One of my favorite thrift finds of all time! Couldn't help but share these beauties!

Paid $20 for these, in an old liquor bottle. Moved most of the unique looking ones to the top right of pic 1. Anything interesting there? Tried the UV light to some effect! I've tried to do some research but I feel out of my element with these. Appreciate it!

"The Sandman" by Dean Morrissey signed and framed artist proof (a term I just learned, haha). I'm only a little familiar with his work, but I couldn't resist this giant piece for the price. Also 1961 reprint of Winnie the Pooh, a FAT (like 1/2 lb.) baroque pearl necklace, and a Reed & Barton Statler Hotel teapot.
