Eugene grew up in a family who had a shellfish business, so had been aware of quahog pearls most of his life.

I wanted to make a special page for these 3 large quahog pearls because they were just extra special.

While viewing and photographing Eugene's pearls I discovered that Culvers at high noon was a great place to photograph pearls.

I've seen necklaces made of a single quahog pearl but only one made of several quahog pearls. It was gorgeous. To think that these are natural pearls found along the eastern coast of the USA. The colors are a stunning range from dark, dark purple to the purest of white with every shade of lavender and lilacs in between.
