"I cant begin to guess how many times I'd be at a pearl convention show or an auction when a drop dead gorgous woman
would stun everyone by strutting in, wearing a spectacular strand of pearls. Given the audience at these events every head
would swivel toward the necklace (not the woman).
Within a nanosecond the dealers would have assessed the pearls , orient, lustre, surface quality, size, shape and match - and
if they are as grand as they looked at first blush, the dealers eyes would dilate. Without a moments hesitation the first thing they
would sputter to the woman would be "May I ask the provenance of your pearls" . It was all a game, of course since the dealers
already knew, but a popular diversion nonetheless, since the wearer almost never had a clue"

Description: Rare late 19th Century Hummingbird Feather Picture Brooch with 15ct Gold Pearl Frame -
The picture is is made up of hummingbird feathers which were imported from Venezuela.
There are two examples of brooches like this one on display in the collection of the British Museum. In actual fact I think the brooch that i have for sale is nicer than either of them.
The last 5 photos are the two brooches in the collection of the British museum with the informational card by them. I show them for comparison. Sorry the pics are not very good - they were taken with my mobile phone on a visit to the museum.
