Pearl Gems Draw East Dealers to Western Rivers
A surge of wholesale pearl merchants from New York to Wisconsin and Mississippi chase fresh water gems found in mussel beds. The season sees unusually fine specimens, including a 68 grain white pearl bought by Maurice Brower for $15,000 after originally selling for 75 cents. Pink 99 grain gems from Indiana and other colored pearls from Vincennes and Prairie du Chien are reported. New York buyers travel to the rivers to prevent price inflation, with high water initially hindering fishing but now a strong season. Demand from button and novelty makers boosts the mussel shell trade, though shells must be sold profitably. most gems come from the Wabash, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Ohio basins, with Illinois river finds noted in years past.
