Christie's Auction catalogues - full of pearls

[MistofCassiopeia]

I just received 2 auction catalogues:

Christies June 11, 2008 - JEWELS; THE LONDON SALE
Christies April 29, 2008 - THE DUBAI SALE: JEWELS & WATCHES

Some lovely close up of strands of natural pearls. I was quite happy to see all the different pearl jewelry in these two catalogues. Lots of pictures.

I agree, Christies has great photos. I looked around online to see if I could checkout any photos from these auctions and I found some video highlights from an October 2008 Dubai sale. About halfway through the video they show some amazing pearls.

Thanks for the link MWP! What an interesting video!

... and somewhere in the video there's also a statement to the effect that <<natural pearls are the future of the auctions in Dubai>>.

Isn't that right!

If you aren't sick and tired of the sort, try the next at Skinner's.
