Anyway, things happen, it is part of the life of pearl farming. It is sad, but it is by no means the end. We are going to start grafting again in the next few months.
Hi Jeremy,

what a catastrophy! Is there anything we customers could do to help especially those poor pearl farmers? If so, let us know - we maybe cannot give much but if we can give some help we certainly are going to try.
