When Tiffany's gem buyers were offered a selection of rare conch pearls last year, they seized the opportunity to create a connoisseur collection for the company's special customers. According to Melvyn Kirtley, group vice president at Tiffany & Co., "the more you look at these pearls, the more you see their beauty, wonderful color, and the flame pattern that looks like moiré silk." Pearls from conchs in the Caribbean , he says, tend to be light peach, salmon, or deep pink. The Melo pearl from the sea snail of the South China Sea is more spherical, and colors vary from light peach to cream.
