It was a unique opportunity to spend time with such interesting company. To meet people with a common interest most of who have spent there lives in pursuit of the perfect pearl was priceless.

The presentations we interesting but I wished that each speaker would have been open to Q & A at the end of each presentation as I found the open discussions the best part of the structured forum but not quite as interesting as the coffee break.

The evening events were incredible I just loved striking up conversations where ever with whom ever it was always interesting.

Sotheby’s To Sell the Pearl Carpet of Baroda in Its First-Ever Series of Auctions in Doha

This splendid carpet has a surface that is entirely embellished, created using an estimated two million natural seed pearls, known as “Basra” pearls originally collected in the waters of the Gulf. The design is picked out in colored glass beads and the whole richly encrusted and embellished with gold set diamonds and precious stones in their hundreds.

The April 25th Christie’s sale followed a now familiar patter of jaw dropping, world record prices for large rare gem. Previous records for Burmese Rubies and Kashmir Sapphires have been smashed.
