Up for sale is a truly exceptional Natural Freshwater Wing Pearl, sourced directly from a private, pre-1989 estate collection. Measuring an impressive 46.71 mm in length, this rare organic gemstone is a spectacular example of North American river pearls (historically found in the Mississippi or Tennessee River systems).
Unlike modern cultured pearls, this vintage specimen formed naturally, resulting in its unique, elongated \"wing\" or blister shape. It features a beautiful, untouched natural pearlescence with warm, creamy overtones and organic surface characteristics that authenticate its natural origin.
