Popularity of Pearls and Prices Rise Worldwide
The New York Tribune reports that demand for pearls is thriving with prices rising. Chandler Christy notes doubled value in recent years and investors view good pearls as a sound return. A Paris sighting showed strings worth 340 000 and 425 000 francs. A jeweler cites sheen and match quality as key value, while dead white pearls fade in vogue. An 1895 sale of a string for 60 000 dollars and a 1900 bid of 100 000 illustrate long-run price dynamics. A Paris purchase marks a record for a finest pearl. Major stores shift signs to pearl and precious stones. Also, Rev. Oscar F. Moore will fill Christ Church pulpit today, guest of Henry D. Pierce.
