Thanks Alex We would love a Good day on the farm. Today was day seven of rain, can't clean salt water shell while its raining. Can only play so many games of back gammon and scrabble before stir cray sets in. Maybe everyone can sing "here comes the sun", just for us. Please!

Morning All Nice Pair Pearlywhites. If you want pearls with no flaws the price will rise. It's a personal choice. Silver Pink tones are the desire of all South Sea Pearl Farmers. When you look at the pearl it will have a slight pink tinge to it. It's actually an optical illusion. The light...

Well done Adrienne 4K is a very good price. Enjoy wearing your South Sea's.

Very, very nice Alex.

What a great thread, I can't beleive I missed it. Thanks Jeremy and contributors. Mr Made in the initial post I think is the typical small farmer that's seen foreign cashed up firms in his territory. I do feel for him. His first mistake I think is wanting the Government to regulate price...

Thats what I'd call a "Genuine Christmas tree look". I remember Mum putting things on the tree that looked just like those (admittedly bigger though).

Thanks Mike and Dave. My main problem with this issue is the Starvation effect. When any Pearl-Guiders visit our farm you will see that the volume of life forms in our tropical waters ensure that a 1mm or even 2mm size mesh will become closed off very quickly. The contact you gave Mike shows...

O.K Mikeyy, I'll PM you. Basically, watch the sequence of events. You approach a cleaning boat that clearly the dirty panels have "covers" on. The person talking to you say's it's about four weeks since they where last cleaned. The white covers are 1 mm to starve the shell and he struggles with...

Many thanks Mikeyy We operate on the same species of shell and have NO need to starve the animal. Sincerely

Good morning All Thanks for the pic's and video. I understand their reason for "Starving" their shell by putting the 1mm mesh over the pannels but I do not approve. Can you let us know how long they "Starve" their shell for. The scenery is fantastic but if people watch and listien to the video...

Good evening all, Thanks for the compliment Marianne. Good questions Artpearl. They "ARE" the South Sea Pearl Industry Leaders. Much of what is done in our industry has filtered down from them and the Kailis Family efforts with their R&D. (my respects to the other Australian farmers that have...

Marketing is a funny thing Mary and quite necessary. I do not know any Paspaley's personally. And don't need to. I'm aware of their operations from a bystander perspective and also have friends in the Australian South Sea Pearl Industry that have been a part of their buisiness. Bron and I are...

The Paspaley's are the undisputable leaders in the Pearl World. I truly admire their life long persuit to perfection. Rusty

Good morning Alex Baroque in shape, but definitly Keshi pearls. South Sea Keshi that is. Have a nice day all.

Nice peice Alex and an interesting use of keshi pearls. I'd like to see it on someone to guage the size. There are some very creative folks our there.

Well done Artpearl. I think we have all just learnt a bit of history, thanks to the Pearl-Guide. It totally amazes me the historic tentacles of the PEARL.

Hello Pinoy pride That is the best way to buy pearls, you can see totally what you are buying, nothing to be hidden. Look the sales person in the eye and ask if they have been treated is all you can do.

Good call Marianne What it realy comes down to Artpearl is someones position in the Industry. I only speak from the South Sea Pearl sector but I think it goes right across the board. With SSP's being the higher end of the market, your capacity to pay for volumes of premium grade or not will...

Good call Pearl Dreams. Hello again Artpearl. Indonesia has an Industry that also uses Pinctata Maxima. Meaning they grow the same pearls as us. As do the philippines. Quite a few years back, Alex Kailis (2nd biggest SSPearl producer in Australia, at the time) was in my shop on Thursday Island...

Thanks for the link est190. A very nice necklace indeed. My compliments to the designer, it's beautiful. They are also honest about the shade variance. I had a look at their 10mm round gold strand. It is also the same grade but if you look you clearly see several flaws. For the price I think it...
