these are a nice example of 1940's just post war jewelry rolled gold and HV indicate hardness verified and in the USA rolled gold is the same as gold filled s yes they have gold value. I am curious If the 'pearls' are glass or plastic?

Thanks for the info...I'm appreciative!

I don't know if the "pearls" are glass or plastic. How would I go about finding out?

Gently rub pearls across your teeth if they slide then they are faux if they grit then they are real. I've been dealing in pearls & stones for 30 yrs its the easiest way to tell quickly.

Did some research online now, & based on what I've read I believe they may be a plastic "pearl" and not glass. They have little nicks so they are most likely not pearl. But the rolled gold is worth something.

the plastic would peel and be plastic beads beneath coarse surface glass would be shiny and smooth under the fake nacre real pearls can be identified by drawing them acrossed your teeth not the front of your teeth but over the top of them like the bite surface the catch much easier that way but I would expect plastic ones
