Scallop Pearls

[JenessaLayne]

Hi! First time here… my husband is a commercial fisherman in the Bay of Fundy and has been collecting salt water scallop pearls for years. Can anyone tell me if there’s any value here? I do know it depends mostly on luster but I guess I’m just looking for any information I can find. I currently make stud earrings from them and sell at a local tourist shop but I save the really nice ones.
