Cultured pearl, emerald and single cut diamond bracelet

[Christinak]

Hello

Could someone give me a view on this bracelet? It’s 8mm cultured pearls with emerald beads and single cut diamond spacers.

It’s £670 which seems like a good price but I am not a pearl expert by any means. Asking if this is an ok price for these type of pearls please.

It states vintage 1980’s

Thank you
Tina

I'm not a pearl expert either but it will need to be restrung. I found the bracelet and the clasp is 18k which is a significant part of the price. The pearls have kind of a dark, creamy body color in the photos and these don't look perfectly matched or round so the pearls themselves don't seem super valuable to me, but that doesn't make it a bad price for the bracelet if you like the look. You could make something similar for less money with freshwater pearls and a sterling clasp, if it's just the look you're after.

@newtojewels thank you for your insight into this. I am not 100% sure.
I love the Jessica McCormack pearl bracelet and might try and recreate that rather than settling for this one.
Thank you

Oh if this would be settling, definitely don't settle.

If you mean this bracelet, this should be doable to recreate. The pricey part is the diamond and the clasp, these are just freshwater pearls, though you could make the same with Akoyas if you wanted to:

Yes this is the one. I have been trying to figure out the pearl dimensions. The largest is 6.7mm and the smallest 4mm.

Akoyas are a great idea thank you
