They look fabulous Seoulite. I didn't know S. Korea isn't big about pearls, I actually might be moving there at the end of the year! I guess, the closest huge gem show would be in Hong Kong then.

I'm with PD, hearing the word Siopao relating to Pearls is unfamiliar as well. It looks like this is something coined in the PI as far as I searched online. It looks to be more of button freshwater pearls. Please post pictures!
