In the ancient world, Qatari divers risked their lives in pursuit of pearls highly sought after by Sultans & Pharoahs. The men didn’t use oxygen tanks; instead they pinched their noses with pieces of wood and held their breath or up to two minutes!

Pearls were the crux of Qatar's economy before oil and bidders were willing to pay a high price for these rare luxuries-you could call them the oil money!

These baroque pearls will certainly have you feeling like money.
