PEARL, A FAMOUS GEMSTONE.

 

This is the first in the series of my talks and as the title suggests looks at one of the most desirable gemstones, the Pearl. In antiquity, Pearl was considered the symbol of purity for the elite of society. The talk focus is on what a pearl is, what produces them and where. The different types of Pearls from fisheries around the world. A fascinating history line from early civilisations to pearls found in jewellery today. Famous pearls and famous jewellery and much more. The talk duration is 60 minutes but can be tailored to suit.Examples of the Pearl types and their associated molluscs are passed to the audience to touch,view and even some beautiful pearl jewellery from my company my-pearl can be purchased at amazing prices should someone fall in love! I always welcome questions from the audience.
