Pearl Society Presents: Wisconsin Pearl Stories

Wisconsin Pearl Rush historian and journalist George Johnson will be returning to The Pearl Society with friend and fellow pearl aficionado Norman Lange, (also a past Pearl Society speaker) to moderate a lively lecture and discussion titled "Wisconsin Pearl Stories".

Lange is long-time pearl dealer of natural American freshwater & oriental pearls, among others.

Johnson will be signing copies of the Spring 2012 edition of Wisconsin Magazine of History issue featuring "Wisconsin's Pearl Craze."  The first 40 attendees will receive a free copy of this issue!

This meeting of the Pearl Society is a continuation of last year's discussion of the Pearl Rush, including stories of individual pearls.  Together with Norm Lange, Johnson will go into some detail about identification and collecting of our natural pearls.

Seating is limited.   RSVP Online or call (847) 869-7920
