Today, it has earned its place among the most desirable of gems. This monumental, profusely illustrated volume by two noted authorities on the subject is probably the largest single collection of data on the subject. It presents an enormous amount of detailed information on pearls: their origin and history, structure, and form; the pearl fisheries of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas; fascinating facts and lore on pearl-culture and pearl-farming; the gem's mystical and medicinal properties famous pearl collections around the world; and much more.

Format:Taschenbuch
This book has everything that one would want to know about pearls. It includes the pearl's cultural and natural history, commerce, industrial and medical uses, methods of pearl gathering, lists of famous pearls, ancient legends about pearls, (black and white) pictures of pearls, and portraits of royalty with their pearls.
Since this book was written in 1906, the values of pearls are outdated, and the pre-metric measurements used are confusing.
This is the best and most useful resource on pearls that I have discovered.

The most complete and accurate book on the Pearl
24. September 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is the best single reference on humanity's long-love affair with this unique gem: the pearl. Information on the pearl is given by time period (up to the early 20th Century) and by pearl producing region/country.
If you love pearls (or are in the process of knowing about them), this book is definitely a must have. It has it all: scientific facts, pearl oyster biology and history. Incredibly well written.
