Hopefully natural pearl necklace values will continue to increase.

Over the past century there have been highs and lows, as the famous well known story of Pierre Cartier exchanging, in 1916, a double strand pearl necklace for the Cartier building in Manhattan shows. At the time it was an even trade - a million dollar necklace for a million dollar building. But after the pearl necklace owner's death her pearls sold for a mere $181,000. This was due to the introduction of cultured pearls by Kokichi Mikimoto.
