3 hours to go

Would make a amazing pendant I still have 3 big abalones to make into jewellery otherwise this one would make a damn nice statement piece

Hope somebody here gets it there is a auto bid on it because I went from 700 to where it's now so hopefully the auto bid isnt to high

Good luck !

Wow! EBAY at its best! That is a gem quality pearl. Quick!! Someone buy it for me!!!!

 

[pattye]

Any concerns that the pearl has been kept in a (dry?) safe deposit box until now? Really beautiful, though!

 

[KAC]

14 minutes to go and $7100 bid - will make a very interesting piece.

 

[dmj]

7 min to go

Yesterday when the pearl was at 140 I had in mind nice I place a 1500 bid and wait because nodoby was biding wellll I was wrong haha

 

[dmj]

Andddd sold 7100 hope somebody here bought it ! Amazing piece

 

[Lagoon Island Pearls]

$45/carat. Seems fair for both seller and buyer.

 

[jshepherd]

A certain someone we know stopped at $7000. Without seeing the piece to ensure there aren't any cracks or the like, it could get dangerous.

I think this is an historical opportunity to get look at a fantastic pearl, there fore I am posting it here- with a link that expire in 90 dys, so if I don't copy it, it will be gone to the internet. Maybe I am in a gray area, but I think strongly that this is a permissible use of the photos. So sue me, P-G is not responsible for my chices.

GIA report says there is evidence of surface enhancement, which probably means that it's been polished on a wheel. Interesting pearl.

 

[Caitlin]

That's why the brilliant luster? It seems worth it. What do you think?

 

[Adeline Leigh]

An ethereal shade of green brilliance; well that is what's showing up on my monitor.

 

[Caitlin]

Yum! That is a really pretty pearl!!!!! It seems it priced out at no bargain, but still a fair market price. I hope everybody is happy!




This is an abalone pearl I have always regretted not winning. It went for just over $100, but it was before I learn to snipe with my top bid, so I was scrambling to bid it up at the last few seonds and lost........... sad face. It seems to have a crack, but the metalwork(platinum?) enhances it beautifully.

 

[Alex]

Caitlin - that is beautiful - and at just over a $100..... oh my

The pearl on this thread closed at $7,100 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
