Catalogue Essay
Conch pearls are natural, non-nacreous pearls which have a surface that is often compared to porcelain. They are produced by the giant conch, a large sea snail most often found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. Conch pearls are rare, and the most sought varieties are those of pink and orange hues. Further, those with a distinct sheen and patterned appearance known as `flame' are considered the most valuable. The present lot is comprised of a combination of rare natural conch and natural nacreous pearls. Many of the conch display the coveted flame appearance and range in colour from an intense purplish-pink to pink. In design, versatility and content, this bracelet is a highly unique piece.
