Antique Georgian Pearl and Diamond Ring / Antique Diamond and Pearl Ladies Ring / Appraised Antique Pearl Cluster Ring

Pearls have long been desired throughout the centuries. Cleopatra once bet Marc Antony that she could host the most expensive dinner in history. The queen hoped to impress Antony and the Roman Empire he represented with the extent of Egypt’s wealth. In her clever attempt to do so, she crushed one large pearl from a pair of earrings and dissolved it in a goblet of wine before gulping it down. She then attempted to crush the other earring into the wine goblet of Marc Anthony. “Astonished, Antony declined his dinner—the matching pearl—and admitted she had won”

Pearls have such an amazing history and has been desired by wealthy, nobility and royalty that's its no wonder that we see it so often in antique jewellery.
