Maybe Mississippi……

by Barbara

I love pearls,but particularly natural or wild pearls.I bought this strand as I had never seen pearls joined like this before,and thought they must be special to have been so carefully made into a necklace.The metal is silver. I read that American pearls were shipped wholesale to Europe in the late 19 th century to make beautiful jewelry,so if they are Mississippi then that could explain how they ended up in Scotland.

Hello Barbara,

That's lovely. It would be fun to find out the source of the pearls. They could also be from your local rivers.

I love the natural pearls and all of their quirks. Of course, some are near perfect and they are neat too but those with "character" are particularly interesting.

Thank you for sharing. Please let us know if you find out any more about your lovely piece.

God bless,
Kari
