Pearl Necklace

[workoutsathome]

Hi all
I picked up the following necklace from a carboot last week and took it to a jeweler who instantly offered me £500, Which I believe is a rough scrap price, the piece is far too nice to scrap and I just wondered what you thought it could be worth? he said the pearls are real but couldn't give me anymore details with regard to them being rare or natural etc...is it worth getting it x rayed before I sell it.. any ideas are greatly welcome... even though I have made a nice profit, I just didn't want to let it go for scrap value only if you guys thought it could be worth more...
Just a few more details the piece weighs 35g and is stunning perfect condition its hallmarked 18k and has been tested and confirmed as being solid 18ct gold,
Many Thanks
The site is not allowing me to upload pictures... so hopefully I can add them in a mo or please ask to view them, Thanks

That looks like a delightful little item , worksoutathome .

At first glance , I'd say you've made a good choice by not unloading it for the price you'd been offered .

If you could take it to another jeweler , who specializes in pearls , you might ask for a 'general value' , as for insurance or replacement value ... lacking that I'd say pay a jeweler to have it inspected , appraised &/or certified .

Very nice necklace !! Look closely around the clasp for a name as well as along the length of it !! Some are not easy to find !!
