Pearl hunting in Indonesia
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!
