This is a very rare Antique Mississippi Pearl and Seed Pearl Festoon necklace that is in mint condition for being well over 140 years old. This is one of my favourites that is timeless and a classic. As you can see that the necklace has been extended at some point and the pearls are some of my favourites.... You cannot get these Mississippi Pearls anymore...
What do you think of the necklace? I love festoons and collect them .....
UPDATE:
Freshwater mussels in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere have produced pearls of great value, as for example those from the Mississippi River.
