My natural freshwater baroque pearls

[ladywolf]

Pictures first!

These pearls were given to my mother in the 1930's by her grandfather, and have been in the family ever since. They have been GIA certified as follows:

Quantity: 49
Weight: 24.50 grams (gross)
Measurements: Graduated from 11.45 x 7.45 to 5.90 x 5.40 x 3.80mm
Drilling: Drilled
Pearls: Natural Pearls
Environment: Freshwater
Mollusk: Unionidae
Treatments: No indication of treatment
Shape: Baroque
Bodycolor: Variously colored, Natural
Overtone: Orient

I know that these are a very unusual item, so unusual that Sotheby's didn't even know how to go about appraising or marketing them, as they'd never sold anything like them before.

I am making them available--anyone with any leads on someone who might want to acquire them from me, please let me know.

Thanks bunches!
