My First Baroque

[kerwinkiffy]

Hi! I was recently assigned to our site here in Palawan Philippines and visited one of their local souvenir shops one morning. I have no intentions of buying a pearl, but I was able to grab hold of these lovely freshwater pearls!

Those look like some big freshwater baroques!

they’re approx. 10mm in size. Im unable to confirm if these are indeed sourced here in Palawan though. But I love them!

It's quite likely they are from China, but lovely nonetheless! Hope this piece is the start of a love affair with pearls
Welcome aboard!

There are no freshwater pearls grown in Palawan - just South Sea pearls. The pearls you have are from China, but they are real pearls!

Kerwinkiffy, What a lovely start to your pearl collection! Please do show us your SSP when you choose one. Being able
to choose pearls in person is the best!

Thank you! I will definitely show it here once I bought one. I was already saw one that I like I just wish its still available when I get back.
