A conch pearl is uniquely produced in the Queen conch mollusk under a completely natural environment with no human intervention. Unlike traditional pearls, conch pearls are not made of nacre, which means they do not share the same iridescent lustre. Instead, a conch pearl exhibits a wave-like ‘flame’ pattern that appears to shimmer across its surface – the more intense the flame display, the more highly-prized the conch pearl will be.

The finest conch pearls are typically oval-shaped in shades of white, beige, yellow, and many varieties of pink. Only a small number of the conch pearls found in the shells are gem quality which rarely come in such an impressive size like this present example. In a world where cultured pearls dominate, natural pearls are scarce and sought-after which results in boosting the demand of conch pearls as well. Lot 581 featuring two natural beauties from the ocean makes the necklace rarer and more desirable.

海螺珠因其婉約柔和的粉紅色澤、溫潤如瓷的質地，以及珍珠表面的優美火焰紋而大受追捧，被譽為世界上最珍貴難求的珍珠之一。海螺珠產於一種名為大鳳螺（Queen Conch）的貝類之中，為純天然而成，不含任何人為因素。與傳統珍珠不同，海螺珠並非由珍珠母構成，因此並無珍珠表面可見的虹彩。反之，海螺珠表面呈現一種獨特的的波浪紋圖案，狀如烈焰，華光灼灼，因而得名。火焰紋越深，海螺珠的價值則越高。

品質最上乘的海螺珠多為橢圓形，呈白色、米色、黃色與多種粉紅色。只有少數海螺珠可被評為寶石級別，如本品般尺寸巨大者則更為罕見。如今，養殖珍珠在市場上比比皆是，天然珍珠數量稀少、備受青睞，令海螺珠的需求有增無減。拍品編號 581 項鏈飾兩顆美珠，為大自然的奇妙餽贈，教人一見傾心。
