Scottish River Pearls?

Hello there,

I was having a look through your site because i was researching a necklace that I bought in a job lot of costume jewellery. I am UK based and do deal in antique jewellery. I have sold cultured pearls in the past but had not seen anything like these pearls before.

Just wondering if these might be Scottish River Pearls?

The chain is silver. I looks like it might have originally been a muff (guard) chain and perhaps one pearl or even two pearls got lost and hence the whole thing has been shortened? The spacing is
slightly adrift. It currently measures 46 inches long.

They were pretty dirty when I got them and have soaked them in a little pearl cleaner. I can only do one pic but will say as you turn them over the underside of have a duller and more yellowy look to them.

Thank you for looking.

Debbie
