I can't believe how happy it makes me to see that the pearl survived the drilling process to become a one-in-a-million necklace. And it's very fitting that it's going to be the signature jewelry of my favorite iconoclastic entrepreneur!

If it looks familiar, you probably saw the pearl first, here: What dark & buried secret led to my downfall?

Jeremy, wear it in excellent health!

Cheers,
Blaire

My thoughts run in another manner, a more domesticated cave thing. Totally hot! The natural, conical, rare. I love it!

That really is an awesome choker, Jeremy - it looks great on you. Very unusual, what with you only coming across two that would be suitable!

Question: Given the size of the hole, any chance we could have a before and after drilling weight for the pearl? Say 2 carats were lost—that's $3000 worth of pearl for a baroque paua of similar symmetry!

But I assume the pearl would have retained its value as a finished piece.

The shape works in the same way that shark's teeth were/are popular as a male leather thong necklace sort of thing =- 'argggggh look how strong I am, I wrestled the shark (not jumped it, you understand) and pulled out a tooth'

Jeremy,

Is the abalone sort of hollow in the middle like a keishi can be? Did you line the drill hole with gold? Are you concerned about wear at the edges of the drill hole?

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

Wow, Pattye, I had the same questions, exactly. I would hate to see any wear around the drill hole of such a beauty!
