The abalone pearls have already been described by experts previously, among the most notable documents that we recommend reviewing about the most innovative and valued abalone pearls is the work published by Renee Newman (Exotic Gems, Volume 4. How to Identify, Evaluate and Select Jade & Abalone Pearls, 2016), said publication indicates:

• “Abalone pearls usually have unique baroque shapes which are sought after by designers, and their iridescent colors may be any combination or shade of green, blue, pink, purple, silver, or on rare occasions cream white. Blue and green are the most common colors. Their size can be as small as a tiny seed or as large as a 500 carat pearl.
•  For instance, the abalone pearl collection of Wes and Tish Rankin started with the natural cornupia pearl founded in 1990 of 112.08 carats valuated in $144.000 USD.
•  The American Indians, New Zealand Maoris and Asian Indians were the first known people to have used the abalone for jewelry, rather than only for its meat. According to Elisabeth Strack, author of Pearls, examples of abalone pearls from the 16″ century are probably still found today ni the collections of several Indian maharajas. Abalone pearls were not mentioned ni gemological literature until the 19″ century. It wasnt’ until about the 1990s that abalone pearls gained worldwide interest.
• Abalone fishing is highly regulated now because of declining supply.
• Most abalone pearls have baroque shapes like horns, teeth, trunks, half-moons, discs and buttons. Near round, oval and egg- shaped pearls are also available, but are usually smaller than 10mm Round pearls are valued the highest followed by symmetrical shapes.”
