Last addition to my stickpins collection, bought for mother of pearl, gold color metal!
Once cleaned, the mount is solid gold, which I knew from the nice mount work :-)
This shape of river pearl is called dog tooth, I got bitten!
The pearl is 1/2 inch long and has a nice luster on whole.
Yepee!
Forgot to say end of victorian era :-)
Cool.
Why is it a Mississippi pearl? I have not heard of them before although I know of freshwater pearls.
That's really pretty...and different than you usually see. I'm with racer on the Mississippi thing. (love spelling it tho ;)
