What do the Forum members think I could do with this one, which weighs 14.68ct. Penguin? And how to incorporate the pearl into a piece of jewellery? All advice much appreciated!

Can anyone shed any light or otherwise simply speculate as to the extraordinary price difference in the market today between freshwater and saltwater natural pearls? The attached natural freshwater pearl weighing 7.84ct, for example, would command a price in excess of US$ 7000/ct were it...

The natural, if certificated as such, should go for way way more than the estimate. Completely agree about the cultured, way too high. I will actually go to the auction for the natural, it is truly an important pearl

I forgot to add - total weight is 9.43ct - apologies

A couple of months ago I have been obliged to help one pearl supplier of mine by - unwillingly - buying this small parcel of 6 natural pearls, all of which have been tested as natural by GIA (the one of the far right is a natural blister pearl). I did not pay a great deal for them, but none of...

Many thanks for all of your excellent suggestions, much appreciated ! Unless sold in the meantime, a bug it is ;-)

Pearl Size Pearl Size Thanks for your enquiry. The pearl is approx 12.5x8.7x8.2mm. Actually, he is rather a tubby little chap, and the back is quite similar to the front, with the 'body' being semi-round - am happy to send more detailed pics if you were interested

Can anyone help me with a design for this lovely natural pearl, which weighs 5.80ct and has already been tested by GIA? I am thinking of something incorporating diamonds or alternatively fine coloured stones such as ruby or sapphire... All ideas gratefully received :-)

I will be there, and if.... I will be there, and if.... ...any other Forum members are also going along, it would be great to meet them there as well !

I would have thought it unlikely as prices and demand are both low. But if you have any nice examples for sale at a reasonable price please let me know, thanks

Has anyone seen a Quahog with this exquisite type of flame structure before?

And Here's Another ! And Here's Another ! This one has a delightful 4.50ct Melo set in 18k yellow gold and flanked by two antique cut diamonds totalling 0.26ct. I enjoy dabbling with designs of natural pearls, so for your perusal here is an 8.80ct ivory cassis cornuta pearl set in a simple...

Has anyone seen anything similar? This is a stunning 25.07ct yellow ochre pleuroploca species natural pearl, very pretty flame pattern indeed. All comments/advice welcome!

I would be fascinated to see and hear everyone's experiences with designing jewellery containing natural pearls. I have recently started to design and make a couple of rings and would very much appreciate your comments. The ring is set in 18k Yellow Gold and has a natural Melo Pearl weighing...

......a 10mm natural oyster pearl, round, silver or white, , clean and ideally with certification ? I have to make a ring for a client in Jakarta and need one URGENTLY ;) Thanks in advance ! http://www.trocadero.com/OnlyNaturalPearls/

Apologies for my last post which somehow arrived a day late : you could always try to go to Grays Antiques Market in London (Davies Street just off Oxford Street) - there are numerous antique and estate jewellery dealers there, and you may find someone willing to give you a better offer (and of...

Since the demise of the Gem-A Testing Laboratory in London a couple of years ago, options for the certification of natural pearls in the UK are extremely limited. However I understand that the Assay Office, both in Birmingham and London, will test and certfiy pearls, so this I think is your best...
