Considering pearls

In considering pearls, one must again first be sure that the specimen is not cultured. This is most important, since the values of the two varieties differ greatly. Size, shape, surface blemishes, and color diamonds are what one looks for in natural pearls. Large sizes are of considerable value, but round shapes are the most costly since the chief use of pearls is in the form of strung necklaces. Pairs suitable for earrings gain in value over single pearls. But drop and button shapes are less valuable than the spherical specimens.
The rosee color is considered to be the finest. It must not be too dark, nor yet too white, and shades in pearls vary enormously. The matching of pearls is a very skilled task, and necklaces of all one color, perfectly round in shape, and of even graduation are very rare. It might be possible to pick out only three or four such necklaces from a bunch of pearls costing $280,000 (£100,000), and this is why fine necklaces reach such high prices.

Uneven shapes are common, as well as surface spots and ringed lines. Real pearl necklaces vary from $14 (£5) to almost any amount, that is, many thousands of pounds. Values are difficult to judge, and experts in this gem are comparatively few in number.
Opals and fancy color diamonds vary very considerably in their play of colors, and good stones are rare. Medium and poor qualities are abundant, and these realize about $5.60 (£2) a carat down to almost nothing. With all opals, the absence of visible cracks is an important feature. Surface cracks may be sufficiently bad to render an otherwise good stone almost valueless.
