Pearl Diver: Science and Diversion
Welcome pearl aficionados!
This newly-named Forum invites deeper “Dives” into the whys and wherefores of the pearl production process, be it natural or cultured.
It may get technical at times, at others unabashedly esoteric.
No question or comment is out of bounds as long as it relates to pearls. Contributions and advice from members, the pearl trade, and the pertinent specialties of Marine and Material Sciences are most welcome.
Curiosity is the Pearl Diver’s mantra!

Hello,
I’ve recently joined this forum. My family has a long history in Sri Lanka’s maritime trade, especially in spices and pearls. I’ve inherited a collection of natural pearls believed to date back to my great-grandfather’s time, well before cultured pearls existed.
They likely came from the Gulf of Mannar.
I’m here to learn more, understand what I have, and connect with others who appreciate such pearls.

Hello I am a new member or posting for the first time finally! I just want to say hi. I used to not like pearls (believe it or not) I’ve collected all kinds of jewelry since I was about eight years old.
Anyway now I Love pearls! Currently I acquired a 20 inch strand of South sea golden pearls ( I hope and I think). I need help in determining if they are dyed.
Looking forward to learning!
