The Palatinate pearl is unique in the world. A fluke of nature caused it to be part white and part black. No one has ever been able to establish the waters from whence it was taken, for it was first recorded as being part of the treasure of the House of Bavaria, which ruled the Palatinate. It is known that the pearl was seen in several castles, passing from generation to generation, before it reached Munich in the second half of the 18th century and became the property of the Palatine count, Charles Theodore, when he became Duke of Bavaria. Today the pearl can be seen in the Residenz in Munich. It has been beautifully mounted between two diamond snakes and set above a sparkling design of floral scolls composed of large diamonds.
