Mr brossard, you sure do come up with the goods! Amazing article, anaesthisia for oysters? Wow! I never knew they used that for fresh water oysters! I wonder if it is a widespread technique? Or just his special one. On a better note, wow! Oysters have their own anaesthisia! What is it? I feel...

Right what does dalian seafood dalian seafood expo have anything to do with pearls you ask? Well... Apparently thrre are 4 stands that were selling pearls! Most were fresh water with a few ssp and tahitian. Only 1 stall allowed me to take a picture so here it is! Oh and have you meet popeye?

Puts a smile on your face this does! Silkwinds, that sounds like an airline magazine, pretty detailed, though i wish they had more 'hands on' pictures.

Hi sofie, I am going to be 'unhelpful' here. Since you are all the way from denmark, why not try to visit a real life pearl farm? I mean whoa! Won't that be a story to tell your grandkids! Right so, i have absalutely no idea which radiant angel to contact to get you into a pearl farm. Thus...

I am unofficially stating that your pearl is officially one of the best seen ever in pearl guide.

It is a hobby of a sort for me to see a harvest lot. To see all the good and bad, and varieties of colours. Cause what is sold may not really represent what is produced. So i was wondering if the gold is very prevalent or the exceptionals. But thanks i will look it up.

I really am simply enthralled by the vivid gold those pearls have. But is that mostly the colour of the harvest or only very partial? The rest being much lighty tinged?

That is what every company in the world should do jacques. In my company i like to say ' kita budidayakan ikan dan manusia'. Which roughly translate to ' we culture both fish and men'. It is not the only way to do things but it should definitely be THE WAY. Talking about reef developement and...

Robberies of pearl farms in Indonesia doesn't usually happen post harvest but preharvest. So the oysters are stolen right in the middle of the sea from pirates usually a few months before harvest as they pay off farm workers to tell them which of the pearls are ready for harvest. It is hard...

This is very interesting, so 'who's direct the fashions of pearls?

How it affects ecosystems and pearl farmers is truly truly a mystery, yet, the local 'studies' does show a correlation as such. Interesting huh? I just try to keep them cyanide fishers as far away as possible from my area, and uhm... DEMONIZE THEM! One of my pet projects currently is the...

Hi Val, Can you take a picture of the pearl having left a mark? I have never seen one in my life actually...

Salam, eh ibu/pak? Hahaha, aneh dipanggil mas, bukan orang surabaya nih, tetapi menetapnya di sana. Namaku ini gara2 wapres Trisutrisno, lengket di benaknya ibunda. Well like I said, there is an association of indonesian pearl farmers in Jakarta. You might want to get in contact with them...
