The listing, HAND COLLECTED, MY LAST THAHITIAN *BLACK*PEARL WRAPPED IN 18 INCHES OF STERLING SILVER CHAIN has ended.
Flawless black pearl retrieved by yours truly! i dived for them, gathered them, kissed a stingray, and shucked the shells open!!!!
this is a bucket list must!when we got home i had the goldsmith design the pedant... the pearl can hang from side to side, pearl toward the bottom, or pearl higher to the top of the spiral and stays in place. i has 2 holes to thread the gorgeous 16 inch italian sterling silver snake skin styled chain!!!!!!
basically you get one necklace that can be worn 3 different ways!!!!! how fun is that?
after i finished it my jeweler said if he were to sell them he would go no lower than 450.00 since the pearl is so flawless, and the work and imagination put into it!

yes our starting fees have gone up, that's because listia has such a fluctuation of their dollar to credit ratio, we are all getting killed! as of right now this is the current rate, you can find it on your "buy credits" section
current rate:
5,350 credits / us$1
(as of dec 2, 2015 at 3:11am)
that means if we ask for a start bid of 28 thousand (28000) credits...that only equals 5 dollars and in most of my auctions that 5 bucks covers only the cost i pay to ship it to you...period! it's like i am paying you to take it off of my hands!!!!!! not cool! plus if you have ever sold anything on here, we pay a listing fee, and if we want it bold, it cost a few grand more again!
we work hard (i know i do) on our auctions to make them nice and fun, please take these things into consideration when bidding and commenting... thanks, deb
