Images of Modern day Umm as Sabban - home of Gulf Natural Pearls Images of Modern day Umm as Sabban - home of Gulf Natural Pearls Some lovely images of today's Umm as Sabban island - just lovely

I keep on looking at this Island on Google maps and just adore the story of your grandfather - almost sounds like the makings of a Hollywood movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441952/ What is the situation of the Island now and do you know if there have been any attempts to re visit the oyster...

Thanks Caitlin, cold sweats here for RAK vs Bahrain pearls, Natural vs SS :)

Yup the picture on the left titled "A" is weapons-grade levels of money. The bracelet on the right is RAK pearls and slightly better value at Dhs4k about USD$1,000. See the thing is I do love the "idea" of RAK pearls as they are the first of their kind here. But I'm very much in love with the...

RAK Pearls RAK Pearls As promised first look and prices of the RAK pearls (price in Dirhams) 1 AED = 0.272261 USD 1 USD = 3.67295 AED The bracelet is the one I am interested in and about 70% more expensive than a natural pear bracelet from Bahrain.

Thanks for the feedback in the RAK pearls. So to confirm what are they??? Reason I ask is price wise I can get a lovely 21cm natural pearl bracelet from Bahrain for a lot less than a 21cm RAK pearl bracelet. Found this video on them below from a jeweller using them...

Umm a Sabann revisted Umm a Sabann revisted This is an amazing story have you ever thought to go back there again?

No problem, i spoke to the guy today and over email. He can send to Dubai via courier then and payment made through UAE Exchange under his name - which is like a Westen Union type money fund exchange. I can send you all the details. Air post relatively cheap and robots here as I send lots of...

Amazing thread!

Al Hasimi pearls seem like good value actually: http://naturalpearls.net/categories.php?action=view_image&imageid=25 Lovely little piece.

They're just beautiful Caitlin and thanks for sharing. I take it you have quite a collection of Gulf seed pearls and assorted pearls from this region, inshallah you get to show us some more of them.

Thanks Caitlin that is fascinating stuff and I got to see my first Gulf seed pearls recently in that recent pic I posted. Not my cup of tea in how that piece was presented as the pearls were literally sewn into the metal making it very fussy and unnatural looking. I know the RAK pearl farm...

Thanks for chiming in Caitlin - can I ask what are "SSpearls" Price wise as I mentioned these pearls are right up there with Gulf Natural pearls (Basra) but then I am yet to see these pearls in person. So far so good? Or what is your gut feeling?

Honestly I've no idea of what the correct nacre specifications are hence looking to you guys for your expertise to chime in. More pic's on the way when I get to see the firsts in the "nacre" for real. Price I can advise the are astronomical unfortunately but looking to see what is within my...

Amazing thread and like stepping back in time, Burma seems to be throwing up some rare pearls indeed late http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/9228910/Its-Spitfires-at-dawn-in-Burma.html - apologies for the aviation link in a pearl forum - I had the pleasure of sitting in one these...
