Asking about Mabe - We do, limited amounts using Peteria penquin. We than have a pretty fantastic shell carver that works these into some pretty incredible pieces. They are pretty nice. This year we will really put some effort into this and scale this up. Shell by J. Hunter Pearls Fiji.

Bula everyone - very good morning to you all from Fiji. I have been a bit busy - sorry for the late reply. Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. Yes - each country needs to learn to develop its own industry and and really try and "own it" - this is how we develop new and...

Thanks guys - this has really been fun for me too!! Honestly - a bit shy. Having my name on the pearls - it just..... kinda makes me feel funny. But now I have a question for you guys. Below is the tray of our Fiji Baroque's - I mean really zoom in and look at them. These left on the 28th of...

Last one Last one Just a couple more pics to get my point across from earlier. I know some of you are not quite sure. My opinion: we make the best pearls in the world. And they are not Tahitian. And this is not my doing - Tahiti lobbied and brought in researchers for years to tell everyone...

Bula Pattye - Our farming models are different and our environment can be unforgiving. With that said. In a normal year we will harvest 35 - 40% "export grade" pearls. This is exceptionally low compared to other producers. Re-seeds will range between 10 - 20% of what we implant the...

These shots were taken a couple years ago in Hong Kong with Jorg Gellner. Our circles - (which some farms try not to produce) have the best colours and lustre! These would be our "high" 10 - 11 mm rounds and circles. Cees is too kind - hope the shells reach you soon. [ATTACH

Our Chocolate Diva Our Chocolate Diva This particular pearl really stood out in our last harvest. Satin finish - large size (15mm x 17mm). Makes me smile. Our first operation pearls average between 10.5 and 11 mm. Because we push size we end up with circles - but they are gorgeous circles...

Thank you - look forward to seeing you guys down here. I will post some shots of my favourite pearls from this harvest soon. jh
