Product Description
Natural Conch Pearl
Natural Diamond
Brand new, unused item.
This is a conch pearl, the rarest natural pearl in the world.
It is extremely scarce and difficult to find.
The conch pearl's unique wet-look luster, porcelain-like texture, and lovely milky color are incredibly captivating.
Beyond the rarity of the pink conch shell, its mother oyster, harvesting is extremely difficult, with a reported chance of only 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 shells producing a pearl.
Since conch shells are gastropods, it is not possible to insert a nucleus like with Akoya oysters, and current technology makes conch pearl cultivation impossible.
Those with "flame patterns" are considered the finest, and this pearl also exhibits flame patterns.
Conch shells were overfished starting in the mid-20th century and are now protected under the Washington Convention, so the import and export of conch pearls themselves are strictly regulated worldwide.
It is expected that the rarity of beautiful natural conch pearls will only increase.
