Yvel again :) Worth reading about their "Yvel Visitor Center": http://www.touristisrael.com/yvel-visitor-center/8919/

GemGeek, naturals? Grown for 26 years?

In an interview on TV Orna and Isaac Levy of Yvel claimed the pearls are natural, and were collected during many years from auctions and pearl farmers. They also said that importing pearls to Bahrain is forbidden and that they obtained special permission and an invitation to show this strand of...

Absolutely agree with you LitGeek. That is one dreamy strand.......

Caitlin, can you please remove the duplicate photo?

After a little search, here is the photo of the "Super Necklace". Speaks for itself...... (me like ;) ) from: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=548618605195594&set=a.497120693678719.1073741825.497120667012055&type=1&theater

I hope so too Pattye.

I agree that it is badly written. The photo looks like a stock of pearls and not the "super necklace". Yvel is usualy very reliable, but they may not be the source of the information.

This showed up in the local Israel press. Not enough information and the company hasn't posted anything on their site. Still, a matched necklace of 20 - 28 mm should be unbelievable. Kudos to Yvel. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4402335,00.html

The shape reminds me of the barrel shaped corals we are familiar with and that may explains the attraction to these pearls.

Thank you ladies :) Lets keep our fingers crossed for the 2013 SoC harvest. Can't wait to see the results.......

Thank you Caitlin and it is so unique!

Wishing Douglas the best on this harvest. And I have to show just one more time this perfect delight from Douglas's 2008 harvest. I truly treasure it. The first photo was made by Douglas: The finished pendant was made by Jeremy. The photos by me.

Here it is!

What a beautiful collection Pattye, love your keshis!

Pattye, asking price for the bracelet is 2.650 USD and for the earrings and the ring the asking price is 1.700 USD. (see the attached links)

This is being put up for sale in Israel. it is stated to be from Iraq and 21 kt. gold. This indicates that the pearls are natural Gulf pearls. http://www.tiroche.co.il/ItemPageNow.asp?id=43133&array_index=644 http://www.tiroche.co.il/ItemPageNow.asp?id=43134&array_index=645 What do you...

Great to see you Knotty! Where is your story on "Your first pearls - when and how" ?

Nice necklace Jarrod. The pearls are baroque akoya and the clasp is 'Art-Deco' style, an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France during the 1920s, flourished internationally during the 30s and 40s, then waned in the post-World War II era. Lucky future wife or daughter!

My perlitis started in 1964 when a friend of my grandfather pulled from his pocket a several strands of pearls. I put them through a tooth test, which I learned earlier from my uncle and the rest is history. They were smuggled goods and therefore very cheap. As they were my first pearls, they...
