Hello Everyone there !
I just collected about a thousand photos in european museums, mostly french ones, to illustrate a jewelry course, and I took some specific picts about pearls (not of excellent quality for interesting, I hope so) ;
to illustrate the fantastic Caitlin 's "Pearls in History" that figures left of the PG site.
I have avoided the most wellknown for more fun and shall start a "how old is this pearl" game with you all.
Ready now?
So let's go and refer to Caitlin' story at left of page.
-------
Though pearls have been found in fossil mollusks as old as 50 millions years old (see here) ;

at the beginning of human jewelry story, were the shell, not the pearl yet,
So how old is this one ? and where does this necklace come from ? (the country from, not the museum...)
Start playing
