The 20mm pair weighs just 11.6 grams ......

These are South sea pearls with a gel nucleus….

I was involved at the very earliest stages with “Edison” pearls and have kept some of the first examples in my safe. They have all faded. I have said this on earlier discussions here on this site. I would be happy bring the samples to any of the international shows where we exhibit - Hong Kong...

Is 28mm too big for stud earrings?

How do you think the new import tariffs will affect the demand and price of pearls in the USA?

The driver is about 10 inches long and it weighs 130 grams (it’s a fair bit of gold!)

Thirteen years ago I found the perfect pearl to make a golf tee. We set a diamond golf ball on top. Yesterday I finally finished my golf club. It’s all hand made in 18 carat gold.

Many thanks for the vote of confidence! Much appreciated!

Mine have been in a locked safe…. Not much light inside there….!

Wendy is correct on this. I have kept some of the fine examples of these pearls from the first few years of production. I exhibited in shows in partnership with the main farmer. The older the pearl is, the more the colour fades. The examples above are truly beautiful - now. The real question...

I purchased both of them. As far as I know both were sold to one customer within 48 hours…. but admittedly I am waiting for final confirmation.

It is. I found this and a 20.1mm perfect clean round a few days ago.

I just came across this 23.75mm clean faced, natural colour pink. Has anyone out there seen one of this size before?
