Animal Farm: A Menagerie of Wild-Inspired Pearl Pins

[Kevin Canning]

Known for their fun and funky pearl pins, Emiko Pearl debuted its newest assortment—a wide range of looks starting at retail prices of $10,000—in the AGTA Pavilion during GemFair Tucson last week. At press time, at least two (the elephant and the camel) of the 18k gold, diamond, and South Seas pearl jeweled pins were being considered for purchase.

Actually if look at Emiko's website they have some very cool designs that use some HUGE pearls: http://www.emikopearls.com/showcase.htm although I couldn't get some of the links to work.

Fun... Different... But at that price I'd much rather have a string of pearls

lol - yes Karin its best to ignore the prices and enjoy the designs from a distance. I really love the one of a kind nature of the pieces and the thought put into using the shape of the pearl.

They are museum pieces, or will be.

That's what I thought as soon as I saw them - "these aren't jewelry pieces these are pure artwork".

Thanks Kevin!!!

How Fun! Reminds me of the pearl pendants from the 16th & early 17th centuries. I absolutely love the creativity and skill that has gone into these pieces!

Cheers
