Default Estimating a pearl's worth

Oh ok, thank you

Last night a friend showed me a pearl he found a long time ago. It
was so huge - still stuck in the oyster shell I measured it the best I
could and figure it's about 32 mm at the longest length and 22 mm at
the shortest.

Searching the net, I can't find any clue as to what kind of ballpark
he could be in with it's worth. Can anyone give a range of what
pearls that size are worth? I know it depends on different factors -
but you know, what could it be worth?

Thank you


Sounds like a "Baroque" Pearl, unfortunately its probably not worth a great
deal. Pearls are valued on their roundness, as it is a lot rarer for an
oyster to produce a perfect round shape than a non-round shape. This type of
Pearl is becoming popular but don't expect much for it, I would approximate
about $10-$20 maybe more for this size.
