and upon the time in the water too.
Josh, I spoke with a friend from Tahiti recently. He told me that a lot of Tahitian pearls sold to Japanese and Chinese wholesalers (and probably others too) were re-processed (cleaned, polished, whatever they call it). Could that be an explanation for the thin nacre of some of the Tahitian pearls on the market?
very nice photos on your website btw!
