This is not your average Chook or Meat Tray raffle at the local Pub on a Friday Arvo!
The winner will score a genuine Australian South Sea Keshi Pearl farmed in the pristine waters of the West Australian Kimberly region. They will also have the option to have it set on a finding of their choice and paired with a necklace of their choice as well.
Now the Blokes out there will say that this raffle is completely biased towards the "fairer sex".
There is no doubt a lovely Steemit Lady is likely to be the end recipient but I ask you Blokes..........how many points are you likely to accrue if you win this and give it to the love of your life??
Seriously, you would be looking at all sorts of benefits. You could even get a leave pass to spend with your mates ...LoL.
Rather than me select a Pearl based on my preferences, I just made a general selection so the winner can choose for themselves.
The necklaces and mounts are either Silver or Gold. All were sourced at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Fair and are 925 Sterling Silver and the gold ones have 3 micron Gold Plating.
Anyway, here are some amateur pictures of the Prize options:
OPTION 1: Sterling Silver Gold Plated Choker Necklace with fancy Gold Plated slider mount.
OPTION 2: Sterling Silver Snake Chain Necklace - paired with choice of findings.
OPTION 2a: Sterling Silver fancy slider mounts - paired with option 2 Snake Chain.
Sterling Silver Snake Chain with selection of available Pearls.

I urge all Team Australia Members to Resteem as many times as possible - let's help boost the kitty!
This is an awesome #TeamAustralia initiative and deserves a 100% @MrSquiggle upvote and resteem. Great work.
Good Stuff! That will cover some of the setting and postage costs.
I don't have a large fund but the pearls are pretty cool. My girlfriend would love it if I gave her a choker with a pearl, gotta be in it to win it. Goooo #TeamAustralia
You never know - only takes 1 entry to win!
That is a very generous prize! Definitely beats the meat tray raffle at the local pub.
Pretend you're at the pub having a beer when you buy your tickets...LoL.
This is excellent and so very generous.
I was just lucky to buy these very cheap when I worked for a very well known Pearling Company many years ago. Glad to help a Great Community out.
G'day. I can see from you're other post that you're quite busy at the moment but we do need to deal with finalising this raffle.
Did we get many entries? Are you able to draw the winner and let me know?
Once it's done, I can communicate with the winner and get the necklace made and shipped.
Thanks, Mate.
hey mate,
yeah we had a few people enter, wasn't as popular as I hoped for, but it still raised a few dollars.
I'll do a post on the TA account later today to announce the winner.
This is brilliant mate. Lets see if we can hit $100. So very generous and I know the winner will cherish it for years to come.
I hope we get to $100 (or even more!) These particular type of Genuine Aussie pearls are very hard to come by so somebody is going to be very happy. I think their current per gram price is about on par with the per gram price of Gold.
G'day. How are we doing with this? Do we need to try and push it again?
