Catalogue Essay
The present lot is a fine collection of natural conch pearls which are gently graduated, and matching to near-matching in colour, shape and size. Given the rarity of conch pearls and the difficulty in matching even a pair, the patience and time required to assemble this necklace is significant. Further to that, the design of the necklace itself, baby pink conch strung together with a double chain of rose-cut diamonds, gives the necklace a feminine, almost waterfall effect of both colour and sparkle.
