Very easy. Let me ask you if you have ever heard of apps that allow you to know the whereabouts of someone else (e.g. checking on the kid's or your loved ones' whereabouts)? Otherwise, have you also ever noticed that sometimes Facebook would help someone mark down where they are currently at...

Not Vietnam.

I like Pattye... Hello Kitty, but well, Japanese technology, nope. Jeremy is correct - embedded RFID tag. Freshly harvested on February 12, 2015. I suspect that with this information, Jeremy already knows where this might be cultivated.

In my opinion, there is no way I am going to give my personal information to Galatea Pearl. At least two people's information will be given to them (the person who records the message and the person who plays the message). With Internet access on a smartphone, you can be checked easily. What...

Nope. A chip is there, but I am not sure what you exactly meant by "attach". How exactly would you be attaching it? The actual method makes a lot of difference (e.g. labour effort and production cost). Although I didn't show you a 360-degree, you can believe my words that there are some...

Still need to use technology, but don't need to use X-ray. Farm identifier, yes, but you can do more than just identifying the farm.

Hmmm... you are right, because there are already various methods that can authenticate pearls. Nevertheless, would you be able to tell where do these pearls come from?

Yes, apparently these are all regular-looking pearls, but there's a catch to this. Before revealing further, I encourage you to have a look at this and blast away with whatever thoughts you have in mind.

These are the world's first authenticable pearls. Freshly harvested. Guess where these pearls are from?

I would look at this from the following social phenomenon: - people are giving up privacy in exchange for greater convenience and information [e.g. Facebook, apps, freebies with sign-up] Thus, I hypothesize that pearl traders might want to reveal more information (e.g. track-and-trace or...

All of a sudden, one question with two perspectives come up. The following question is inspired by the fact of how willingly we are to give up our privacy in return for convenience and power of information with the help of information and communication technologies. Also, the fact that...

In my opinion, if you cannot touch the pearl, it's still going to be "Baroque" since there's no way to distinguish the physical appearance. However, because the only distinguishable features would be the weight, I do believe that the name should have a name that reflects the newly-observed...

Wendy, you are actually quite right! The comments I received when I was chatting with others were exactly what you have sad! Super-absorbing diapers with a bad breast implant. Nevertheless, only a good designer will be able to transform the baroque shape into a beautiful jewelry. Is it...

Talking about Sustainable Pearl, allow me to do a little bit of advertisement here to see if you guys are interested. SUSTAINABLE PEARL FORUM Date: June 21, 2014 Time: 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Event: Hong Kong Jewelry Fair June 2013 organized by UBM Asia Location: HKCEC (exact location to be...

It would definitely be too costly to slice the nucleus in half, put the chip in and then reattach. The concept is based on "imparting the identity before it is even born." In other words, when the nucleus is produced, the chip was already there. Other than the lamination technique, I see no...

While the pearl itself is beautiful, the nucleus is actually nothing more special than a water absorbent gel-like substance (super water absorbent polymer). It was presented a year ago in BaselWorld 2012. Anyway, it wasn't really a new thing, because this was actually started by the Japanese...

To expand further what Jeremy said, Hong Kong lacks education and marketing on pearls. The pearl jewelries can normally be found in brand name stores along Nathan Road or big shopping plazas. However, if you are really into seeing pearls in "real action" rather than the boring expensive ones...

Practically speaking, anything can be a pearl nucleus. It does not matter if it is the illegal tridacna, bironite, ceramic, or whatever. The whole problem with this "honesty" business can all be related to the human issues. While I try not to point at any particular groups here, we've got...
