"Horn Pearls"
 

My name is Lou Hill. I currently have 4 unique natural abalone pearls which I obtained 28 years ago in the Chatham Islands which is located 400 miles off the coast of New Zealand. I am currently looking for information about these and other abalone pearls. I would be interested in discussing these "pearls" with any collectors or jewelers who are interested in their unique natural beauty.

 

The 4 pearls have been examined and valued in an Australia valuation laboratory and these certificates of valuation can be supplied upon request.
The details of each pearl from the certifications have been provided below for your information and can be matched to their corresponding photo (attached) by the reference number.
