AN ANTIQUE NATURAL PEARL AND DIAMOND BROOCH, CIRCA 1900
Natural pearls are the original gems. Someone, long ago, was eating an oyster and bit on something, rolling in the palm of our ancient ancestor, it was the first gem, ready to wear, produced through the efforts of a little shellfish. The natural pearl is built up layer by layer, season by season, eventually ending up as this little treasure in lot 72 of the upcoming Dupuis Auction November 24, 2013.
