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.

I had some problems but there are lots of pinpricks and white parts here and there but you’ll see the overall color I like. So thanks let me know what you think best Claudia
