| The connection is playing up so attaching the images took longer than expected. Should be a 56K GRPS connection but here in the Phang Nga mangrove forest the connection rate is nowhere near that.
Added response to Valeria101:
#1. As my interest in this is rather minor I would prefer my effort stayed the same. So just to summarize the easiest way to get a price reference would be to send Christies and Sotheby's an email with some pictures. What does consign in this context mean?
#2. Further more how would you go about doing this practically. Thais also being used to all kind of schemes are normally very sceptial. So I think telling the owner to send the pearl via postal service and then awaiting some eletronic amount of money would be out of the question (I think he want/wishes for somebody comes flying down from somewhere, this someone who is a pearl expert and speaks perfect Thai, carries all the money in Thai currency and says "OK I'll buy it"). Would he have to bring the pearl personally to Christies and Sotheby's?

Ken
