- The Pearl of Lao Tzu
The Pearl of Lao Tzu is 241mm long and 139mm wide, and the pearl weighs 6350g, which is 12.7 pounds, like a human head. It is the largest seawater pearl discovered in the world. This pearl of Lao Tzu has a very mysterious color, because looking at it from different directions, you will see the portraits of Confucius, Lao Tzu and Sakyamuni, so it is named “” “Pearl of Allah”, also known as “Pearl of Lao Tzu”.
It is a sad story about the advent of the Pearl of Lao Tzu.
On May 7, 1934, in Palawan Bay in the Philippines, a group of indigenous Dayak children dived into the sea to salvage seafood as usual. When they came ashore, they found that a small partner was missing. After searching and salvaging, it was found that the child was caught by a huge clam clam when he was diving and could not break free, and finally drowned.
People fished the clam shell with the child and found that it was over 226 jin. When people split it and tried to pull out the child’s feet, they found a huge pearl inside, which is the Pearl of Lao Tzu. Also because it was found in Palawan Bay, it is also called “Palawang Pearl”.
Later, by chance, the pearl was brought to the United States by a doctor, and after several reselling, it came to a jeweler. Currently, the pearl is tucked away in a San Francisco bank safe and is estimated to be worth $23 million.
- The Pearl of the Regent
The Pearl of the Regent weighs 346.27 pearl miles. It is produced in traditional pearl producing areas such as the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of Mannar. It is silver-white and very lustrous. It may be the largest pear-shaped pearl in the world.
In 1811, Napoleon bought the pearl for 40 million francs and set it in the crown of France, giving it to his second wife, Queen Marie-Louis.
In 1814, Napoleon led an expedition to Russia, and Queen Marie-Louis was appointed regent and went to the front with her husband. Hence the name Pearl of the Regent. However, the expedition ended in failure, their marriage came to an end, and the crown was brought back to France.
In 1853, Napoleon III married Eugenie. The fashion-forward queen transformed the crown, taking the Regent’s Pearl and changing it into a pearl corsage.
In November 2005, this pearl, which was estimated at US$500,000 to US$800,000, was bought by a mysterious person at Christine’s auction house in Geneva, Switzerland, and created a sky-high price of US$24.84 million! It is also the most expensive pearl in the world.
