I can see why you said "Good LucK"- you meant it as sarcasm!
If you want to post here you need to do more than just advertise!

Caitlin, YOU RULE!!! Thank you for saying what we all were thinking.

JMarcus,

If I recall correctly, don't you have several magnificent mabes for sale on your site? I realize that Carlo has already found a gorgeous solution, however.

NZNP Thanks for the beautiful pics! Presumably they're paua mabes? I fell in love with paua many years ago before I knew about the mabes. We used to buy paua shell jewelry set in sterling silver, (in the U.K.). By the way where is Oakura, I can't find it on the map. I guess its not far from Mt.Egmont but in which direction? Also I thought the N.Z. pearl farms were in the South Island around either Oamaru or the Foveaux Strait. Can you enlighten? Thanks.

you can't buy them from me- certainly when you search the website for marbe as someone did yesterday.....

Thanks Marcus - the ring is our design anything we post
are ours - just to remind you Rob is a Manufacturing jewellery.
Andrew - Oakura is in Taranaki - North Island West Coast.
We can look and see Mt Egmont one way and the sea the other.
Surf and ski all in one day that is what we are famous for.
We only posted these cultured Paua Mabes to keep this thread
moving - nothing had been posted since July. As you would know
we specialize in the natural abalone pearl but from time to time
we are offered cultured. These were from a farm in our region.
I do believe the farms for culturing are in the South Island.

Hi Carlo,

I am a bit to late to check the news and to respond, but maybe it still may be helpful.
I saw osmena pearls in a Chinese shop in the center of Amsterdam, even bought one last winter, and as I noticed last week, they still have them. So, if you ever travel from Germany to Holland, you may look (give me a shout, I'll tell you directions). I also bought one and we discussed it earlier on the forum because I was also confused about its origin (they sell it as blister pearls). It was very helpful and I learned a lot about these pearls. See the thread Large blister pearl

Best regards

Olga
