It seriously enhances the strand. Well done.

Generally, I don't think so Valerene.

If they belong to a famous person, collectors might be interested.

Fellow Pearl Guiders

A few years back, I had a look at the Paspaley shop on Martin Place.

If ever you are in Sydney, I recommend a visit. Of course you will see some lovely pearls. The shed...

Good answer Pattye,

As South Sea Pearl Farmers, we do get asked if the pearls are a good investment.

It's not that common but when asked, I say to put your money away and look elsewhere if you...

As a grower of South Sea Pearls I am offended but respect your right to say it Wendy.

I'll not be re-drawn into this discussion.

Inspirational Dave, Inspirational.

When a member of the public purchases a strand of pearls that have been treated with oils or such and not informed of this treatment. What are they to think when one year later after cleaning after...

This whole yarn highlights that due to the various treatments carried out, unfortunately many people will not be aware just what natural high quality nacre is.

Sorry for repeating myself but, the...

Bron is attempting to upload a link to Austasia Aquaculture magazine that ran an article on us. If you take the time to read you'll gain a bit of info about us, but also you'll see our...

Any employer of people in this country would review their proceedures instantly upon a death in their work place. Employer's do not need the lefty media to be judge and jury.

I'll back the glass theory.

Good evening All

Thanks for your comments Dave, I just watched the first four minutes of the 4 Corners program on their web site.

I really feel for the parents however, the haunting music and...

Thanks Caitlin

Bron and I are doing fine with the through traffic here at the Island. Every sale counts but some are just to complex to enjoy.

Hey, we sold our biggest and best round pearl from...

Looks pretty weird Dave.

Could you please post a pic of one of your shells open with the flesh still in.

A bit of a selfish request, but I'm curious to see one.

Well put Dave,

I'll get Bron to put up on the Pearl Farming thread an article about us in the latest edition of Austasia Aquaculture. It's got some pic's of our operations shed that I proudly...

Wendy we do get "pink" south sea pearls. I looked at the link and the pic's a bit creepy/cheap for me.

Pearl Dreams, thanks for the reference, I totally dig bricks and mortar, several...

Hey Conchas,
If it means a lot to you that it's a Natural Pearl. Don't get it tested and just keep believing.

It's impossible to tell from 50,000 pic's let alone six.

Your pearls measurement...

Surely this scam has grown to the point for government intervention.

Trade ministers of countries that grow pearls should be lobbying the Chinese Government to take action on the basis that the...

1. Get an electric jug ready with a bit of fresh water in it.
2. Get a strainer and a couple of tea towels ready.
3. Have a pair of pliers ready. (preferably small jewellers...

Thanks you DerekJ.

I saw a documentary on conch shells years ago and I'm sure they pointed out that if the shell hits you with its barb it can kill a human.

If this is true, can you imagine the insurance costs for...

Thanks Caitlin

Alex, that's a very Northern Hemisphere comment, but a good one.

I've been busy and have not looked at this thread in ages.

Vic a simple question, the gold strand you have put a link to says AA+ grade and then No blemishes?

I do not use the A, AA, AAA, and...

Go for it Unusual Pearls,

You have what is known as an up market form of shapes in clouds disease.

Enjoy yourself, lifes fun for the adventurous.

Sorry folks

I miss-spelt the islands name it's actually Abrolhus Islands.

Just had a google to see and came up with Chimere Pearls. I do not know them but felt the need to let everyone know...
