The original picture has been split in two. Total number of pearls: 8 ;)

Why would Ken Scarratt write a monograph on several nautilus pearls and only certify one? :confused: What I find interesting is the fact that most if not all nautilus pearls mentioned in the last century's literature are said to have a yellow hue yet only one of the five pearls is slightly...

You are probably referring to these pearls: http://www.naturalpearls.ch/7901.html Some of them look very similar to the GIA certified ones.

I'm dying to read that monograph!

There's definitely a hallmark, but I haven't asked what it is yet. Thanks for the link Olga.

Hi Pearl Experts! Here is a ring with what looks like a mab?. Can anyone help me with the possible origin of this half pearl? These pictures have been submitted to me by email. effisk

I did not see that one coming. So... there's no tax anymore... where will the money be coming from?

I believe pearl #1 on the pearl professor last post to be a nautilus pearl too. The nautilus is also capable of perfect drop shaped pearls ;-)

This is the pic I was referring to earlier on this thread. Saw these pictures at the WPF. Beautiful!

How about streaking? That would make a lasting impression! or not... (no slraep, you're not allowed to comment this one)

Am I the only one not able to access the link? Nice closeups pearlshooter! I love the spiral pattern Caitlin mentions, I never noticed it before.

Jeremy, his beer and natural abalone pearl, Peter and I. Peter, is this the museum?

I heard the ask price was 60 000$, but it did not sell. No, we're talking about the exact pearl you photographed. I saw Tuesday a picture of two of the nautilus pearls that clearly show the flame pattern. Jeremy saw it too (but says they're clam pearls). I'll ask if I can share that pic on the...

Here's the programme of the WPF: http://www.dpe.ae/wpf/programme.html and I am currently uploading the presentations here: http://perles.effisk.net/blog/images/wpf2009/ (should be finished in an hour or so, my connection is slow). Some are very complete as the speakers were literally reading...

The GIA lab in Thailand (Ken Scarratt) has certified 4 pearls as nautilus pearls, one of them being from the paper nautilus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonaut_(animal) (I'm not 100% sure of that info but T. Stern can probably confirm?) It would be bold from the GIA to certify such pearls as...

The IP address of the Atlantis has been banned on the forum last night, Jeremy has no access to the forum. I'm in a different hotel. Caitlin, can you do something about this? My question to Wan was also about their marketing strategy now that the GIE Perles de Tahiti is dead (or almost dead -...

And I'm just back from the perfect surf session. My flight is tomorrow, I'll be missing the opening cocktail (but I can't miss tomorrow's surf!) :)

gotcha. I KNEW you couldn't refrain from making that exact comment! (less the caldron and the tripod) Posted this one just for you :)

from now on please call me the Pythia. ;)

oh that's good. I won't have to rent a car.
