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.

Did the job
Pros: flosser is easy to fill; comes with charging USB wire; nice narrow stream from two separate attachments. Toothbrush feels like a professional cleaning. Cons: must use my own USB wall plug as this didn't come with one; difficult to change flosser heads if you share the unit with a family member; toothbrush is awkward to charge as the bottom has a cap forcing it to lay on side to charge. Otherwise I'm happy with purchase and will keep it.

Water Pic is Awesome
I love both the water pick and the toothbrush. The battery life on both items is really good. the only thing that should be included but isnt, is a cap to cover the mouth pieces when not in use. Unfortunately while I have had no problem recharging the water pick, the toothbrush will not recharge and I been unable to use it since the battery died. Can someone from the company contact to replace the toothbrush. Thank you
