It is a beautiful day in Monaco, and I am on Pearl-Guide... it is a sickness of sorts, I guess.

I was recently told that traditionally farmed south sea pearls only reach a maximum size of about 10mm. larger must be grown at much deeper depths, and are farmed by free deep divers.

That is a new one, and a pretty funny one at that. We should start a thread of all the stories we have heard and call it something like "Pearlers' Fish Stories".
10mm is considered small for any type of South Sea. The seller was probably offering you a selection of top grade "indicator pearls".
