New Auction Record For Natural Pearls:
The April 25th Christie?s sale followed a now familiar patter of jaw dropping, world record prices for large rare gem. Previous records for Burmese Rubies and Kashmir Sapphires have been smashed. The Baroda Pearls (image left), a double strand of 68 natural pearls that were formerly the property of the Gawkwar of Baroda was auctioned along with matching brooch, earrings and ring for the record sum of 7.1 million dollars. At this same sale a 22 carat Kashmir sapphire also set a world record (see previous post). READ ON, VISIT MY BLOG: GemWise: www.gemwiseblogspotcom.blogspot.com
