Chincoteague, Md pearl found in 1959

by Kate Gallagher
(Talbot County, Maryland, USA)

My father returned from a trip to Chincoteague where he used to hunt and fish with locals, and in his pocket was a roundish-to-oval, white-to-deep purple quahog pearl, which he gave me -- in a little gold-wire cage to hang on necklace -- for my eighth birthday, July 17, 1959. My mother promptly put it aside for safe-keeping (which is why I have it now!) ... I am considering selling it but have not been able to get anyone to appraise it! Suggestions welcome.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the correction on the date...that makes more sense. After fifty years, I would say your pearl is for sure a very treasured keepsake!

Please keep me and other visitors up to date on your pearl.

I recommend
by: Kari

Hi,

Thanks for sharing about your pearl. I think having it in a cage on a necklace is a great way to enjoy these quahog pearls.

I was a little confused by your dates, however.

Here are 2 people that I recommend to appraise your quahog pearl.
