Era / Decade
Modern / 2010s-2020s (Contemporary mass-market production)
Material
Cultured Freshwater Pearls (approx. 6-8mm) with .925 Sterling Silver clasps and earring posts. The necklace features a magnetic or lobster clasp, and the pearls are likely potato-shaped or slightly off-round based on surface texture.
Condition
Very Good. The pearls have a consistent luster, and the set appears complete. The sterling silver hardware shows minor surface oxidation (tarnish) typical of stored silver, which can be easily cleaned.
Demand Level
Moderate. High demand during graduation, wedding (Spring), and holiday (December) seasons. Stable as a basic 'jewelry box staple'.

Description
Elegant 3-piece fine jewelry set from Macy’s featuring cultured freshwater pearls. Set includes an 18-inch necklace, a matching 7.5-inch bracelet, and classic stud earrings. The creamy white pearls exhibit a natural luster with beautiful slight variations in shape. All pieces are finished with genuine .925 sterling silver hardware. Perfect for weddings, prom, or everyday classic style.
Key Features
Complete matching set; Sterling silver hallmarked hardware; Classic bridal/formal appeal; High brand recognition as an entry-level 'Fine Jewelry' set.
Authenticity Indicators
Clasps and earring butterfly backs should be stamped '925'. A 'Macy's' tag or original blue velvet box would confirm the brand. Confidence: High (very common department store set).
Flaws to Note
Minor tarnish on the silver clasps and earring backs (removable); pearls are slightly irregular (potato shape), which is a characteristic of affordable freshwater pearls rather than a defect.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark (best for fashion accessories), eBay (best for silver/jewelry seekers), or Facebook Marketplace for a quick local cash sale without shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Polish the silver clasps with a microfiber cloth before photographing. Use a dark velvet background for photos to make the white pearls pop. Mention keywords like 'Bridal,' 'Wedding,' 'June Birthstone,' and '.925'. If you don't have the original box, use a nice generic jewelry box to increase perceived value.
