Thanks

The pearl company sorts the pearls and implants the 6mm pearl inside younger oysters that are smaller in size. This way it's easier to transport them. The oysters are then put in a solution of alcohol and water to preserve them. Please email me if you'd like to get in touch with the company that sells them.
