The most unexpected – Laozi’s Pearl
The Pearl of Laozi (Pearl of Allah) “Laozi Pearl” has jumped to the first place in the world’s natural pearl ranking. On May 7, 1934, in the Gulf of Palawan in the Philippines, a group of children went into the sea to catch marine animals and found one missing when they landed. After searching and salvaging, it was found that the child was trapped in the foot by a clam while diving, and thus drowned. When people salvaged and opened the clam shell, they found a huge pearl inside, which was 241mm long, 139mm wide, and weighed 6350g. This is the largest natural seawater pearl discovered in the world, named “The Pearl of Allah” eller “The Pearl of Laozi”. I 1969, American doctor Cope cured the owner of the “Pearl of Laozi” – the son of a local chief. The chief thanked him by giving him the “Pearl of Allah”. This bead was worth as much as 4.08 million US dollars at that time. It is currently stored in the San Francisco Bank vault in the United States.
Most desired – Pearl of Asia
Den “Pearl of Asia” ranks second among the discovered natural pearls in the world and was collected in the Persian Gulf in 1628. The bead has a length diameter of about 100mm and a short diameter of 60-70mm, with a weight of 12lg. Before the discovery of the “Laozi Pearl”, it was the largest pearl in the world at that time. Den februari 10, 1993, rapporterade Nihon Keizai Shimbun att två världskända pärlor, kommer “Pearl of Asia” and the “Pearl of Hope”, som en gång ansågs vara okända, dykt upp i Japan. Detta är en smyckesbutik i Tokyo, Japan, lånat från dess ägare som bor i London för att fira 100-årsjubileet av Japans framgångsrika odling av konstgjorda pärlor.

Den mest kraftfulla – Princess Regent Pearl
pärlan känd som “Regent” är den femte största pärlan som upptäckts i världen. Den var ursprungligen infattad i Frankrikes krona och var en gåva från Napoleon I till hans andra fru, Marie Louise. Den 'Kvinnliga regenten’ har oval form, väger 84.25 karat eller 16.85 gram, och såldes i 1887. Den 'kvinnliga regenten’ var en gång en stor pärla som tillhörde den franska kungafamiljen. Denna pärla, uppskattas vara värd 500000 till 800000 US-dollar, will be auctioned along with the diamond crown in Geneva in November this year.
The most profound origin – “Medicis” bead chain
Den “Medicis” pearl necklace consists of 6 rows of round beads and 25 beads, originally owned by Pope Clement. When his niece Catherine de Medes married King Henry II of France in 1533, the Pope gave her a pearl necklace. Several years later, when Catherine’s son Fran ç ois became king and married the beautiful Scottish princess Mary Stuart, she was very satisfied with the marriage and gave the “Medicis” necklace to her daughter-in-law. Two years after marriage, Fran ç ois died of illness, and Queen Mary became a widow at the age of 18. Later, Mary returned to Scotland and took possession of the necklace gifted by the Empress Dowager. The Queen of Scotland died in 1558. Mary was supposed to succeed to the throne, but her cousin sisters usurped the throne and executed Mary in 1587. Den “Medicis” necklace was therefore transferred to Elizabeth. Catherine has been trying to retrieve the pearl chain, but to no avail. 16 years later, the Queen of Scotland passed away and Mary’s son James I ascended to the throne, inheriting the pearl chain. James gave the pearl necklace to his daughter Elizabeth, who in turn gave it to her daughter Sophia. Sophia brought the “Medicis” pearl necklace to England and gave it to her son William IV, making this timeless pearl necklace a treasure of the English royal family. After the death of William IV, Victoria succeeded to the throne and ruled the empire for over 60 år, but she never wore the beaded necklace because her Hanoverian cousin believed it belonged to her and demanded its return. Men det fanns inget resultat på länge, men i slutändan, fick denna kusin fortfarande ett pärlhalsband. Men det är svårt att avgöra om det är raden av “Medicis” pärlkedjor som har prytt 14 drottningar. Ingen vet var pärlhalsbandet, som har gått i arv genom generationer, är nu.
