ABOUT THE ITEM
This is a top quality quahog pearl. Its perfectly round button shape measures 7mm in diameter and it weighs 1.88 carats. Its gorgeous medium dark purple hue is the rich purple shade you think of when you picture the finest quality quahog pearls. Its surface is blemish free and is perfect for your next custom jewelry creation!
Quahog pearls (pronounced KO-hog) are extremely rare organic gems produced naturally by the bivalve clam, Venus mercenaria or Mercenaria mercenaria.
Quahog pearls are found by fishermen off the eastern coast of the United States, typically in the New England region, where clams are harvested for their delicious meat for use in popular dishes such as clam chowder. It is estimated that only 1 out of every 100,000 quahog clams will produce a pearl of any kind and the majority of them are not attractive enough to be used in jewelry. Purple and lavender are considered to be the most valuable shades of quahog pearls.
Famous Quahog Pearls:
In 2005, a Rhode Island jeweler named Alan Golash purchased a brooch from an antique store for $14, that was believed to be costume jewelry. This brooch turned out to be a Georgian Era enameled high karat gold brooch, circa 1835, set with one of the world's largest, and finest quality, quahog pearls along with an additional quahog pearl dangle. The brooch was later named The Golash Brooch after its discoverer. The large, center pearl was named Pearl of Venus by Golash.
In 2015, a 6-plus carat lavender Quahog pearl was found by a policeman while eating a seafood soup. This pearl received national media attention and wound up selling at Kaminski Auctions for $16,500.00.

Kong didn't survive this guy.
He had it for an hour.. We played tug for around 10 minutes then he took it off and chewed it up.. I thought Kongs were tougher to chew up.. very dissapointed.

One of the best dog toys we've found
This is one of my little girl's favorite toys. She's an aggressive chewer so at first we followed the manufacturers instructions not to let her use as a chew toy. It was purchased in January 2025, but it's holding up just fine. She likes to turn it into a pretzel for some reason, but hey it keeps her entertained! Highly recommend.

Good for play but don’t leave out to be chewed on
With two labs we need durable toys. This can stand up to the teeth when pulling but we can’t leave it laying around or it has chunks chewed out of it. And it’s not the toys fault that my girls can’t figure out how to each take a side, so it’s a human vs dog pull toy.

Toy is strong enough for a Rottweiler.
This is one of my dog’s favorite toys. He is a Rottweiler so I have to get him strong, sturdy toys. He hasn’t broken it yet!
