| Unfortunately niether keishi pearls or freshwater pearls would fall into the natural pearl category. From what I understand only wild catch pearls are allowable by law in Bahrain. Freshwater pearls are certainly cultured, and keishi pearls are not natural as they are a bi-product of the culturing process.
I honestly do not think you will have any luck finding natural pearls in China. Try Jeremy Norris, a member on this forum, he has a good selection of natural pearls. |
