There are, as you might expect, lots of diamonds and pearls in among those thousands: Look out, in particular, for the ?Rothschild American Natural Freshwater Pearl Necklace.?? Its pearls, found naturally in only one out of every 10,000 mussels, were carefully selected over 10 years by the gem expert and dealer Meyer D. Rothschild for a necklace he gave to his wife, Edith.

I thought it was interesting as well, how come we haven't heard more about this necklace?

 

[Caitlin]

Private collectors. We rarely get glimpses of the top pearls. sometimes when something sells, like mrs. Dodge's necklace. Remember that?

A lovely necklace, one I would love to see in person!

I'm giving this thread a bump so it's easy to find - were we looking for all significant pearls for the new thread, or only significant saltwater pearls?

I think these qualify as significant, but they need to be re-photographed using (nose-in-the-air) Our Standards (wink).

It was a thread on significant pearls at auction, I think. Thanks for giving it a bump - gorgeous!
