Ive Been in Armenia at a CIBJO conference. Its been fun. But its hard when I'm missing the harvest. Lee - sent me some pics of the first day of reseed harvest. These are 13 mm ++. We have another 5 - 6 days to get more to help this strand. I realise there is a fine line between pleasure...

Love your work guys. So fascinating to see pics of our pearls on here - love what you guys have done. Red that Fiji bracelet - 2nd one in, our left. That is one of the chocolate kisses I sent up. They are unique - don't really even know how to set these. But I really love the those. They have a...

CathyKeshi tell your grandson he is most welcome and we will get more for him. I am not at the farm but in the capital city of Suva, staying in an apartment we share with friends. Noticed she has a bunch of our shells around. One of them has the MOP colour that would / could produce that pearl...

Red - very very cool Fiji pearl lariat. My wife pointed out I spelt Fuschia - wrong and my computer tells me this is the right way. LM: Bracelet - is fun for me to look at. Light plays such an important role in pearl colours. June 2016 Hong Kong show I ran into Michael Hahn - who used to...

Lmgarden - love what you did with those pearls, bracelet is wonderful!! Love the richness of those colours. Definitely interested to see some of the other designs you guys come up with. Those were harvested in May 2016, and pulled from our J Hunter exports in Hong Kong. We were pretty happy...

Love seeing our pearls up there. Seeing well-informed, pearl-connoisseurs, positive feedback is very heartening for us farmers. It definitely fills us with a sense of pride. In fact, Its kinda like sending your kids to their first day of school. Make sure they are all dressed up and well...

The family and I are fine. What an adventure that storm was. Things are a mess but we will pick up the pieces. I will post with some heartbreaking pics and also of pics that show us and our beautiful people building our lives again. Appreciate you guys - thank you

We look forward to hosting you -

Just thought i would show you - our pearls leaving us. Lee and I went up to Hong Kong last weekend and met up with Jorg Gellner. We spent 3 days up there looking at our pearls (and other pearls). So here are some quick pictures of our adventure: Lee and Jorg - checking out pearls at The Mira...

Thank you and the truth is NO :last harvest I got 1 pearl (& not that spectacular) for every 20 implants from early 2014. I was a broken farmer. I knew this harvest was going to be good - but honestly maybe better then I thought. I was calling this harvest "gen x" -my next generation of pearls...

Dave - good question. Really it comes down to how the pearls look (size and lustre) and when and where your target sales period is. We can harvest as early as 12 months and as late as 18 months. Lots of this depends on what kind of food is in the water, what our rainy period was like.... lots...

Better picture of Kioa and the incredible lustre we get there. This i also posted under Kioa thread. Contributing to a guide for pearls. Was asked to send "typical" Fiji Pearl oyster shell and pearl pic. Very difficult - what colour shell / pearl does a person send? We ended up going with a...

Part of J. Hunter Pearls Fiji. Our 2nd farm. Kioa is an island located up the coast. It has some very unique water. The Kioa experiment is frustrating but the lustre we get, well we just keep on trying different things. We are starting to make some progress. Here are the lots from Kioa: I...

BA's - Only salt wash - we will give them a walnut buff to try and bring out that lustre.
