| I agree with Kevin. The larger golden pearls are really "hit and miss". This goes for Tahitians as well. White South Sea are somewhat stable as 15-16 is not considered "huge".
A gem-quality golden South Sea in that size with a strong dark-gold coloration will likely cost you more than $10k currently, even on a wholesale level (if you can find a single pearl). A lighter-color pearl, or one with blemishing, would be much more reasonable. |
