Sorry should be IFREMER - French Institute for oceanic research / exploitation.
Very well respected.

Will get more pics of pearls being harvested and graded. Hope you are all well.

Thanks for the quick response as I imagine you are quite busy. The keshi are fun...analogous to a treasure hunt. Who wouldn't like a bonus pearl?!

Ooooooooooo!

After lunch - peek into techs harvest bowl.
And then you get that one pearl who just has to be different.



That is what i love the most about our Fiji Pearls - they are just so different.
Here he is all alone - actually he has a couple brothers and sisters... but not quite like him.

I love all your pearls - even the super quirky ones! Great photo! ♡

I like the big lightish green one.

I love the colors. Will you be able to share the special pearls/colors with us when they are sorted? I'm really curious about the range of possible colors vs the tahitians that we usually see.

Beautiful! thanks for sharing. These pearls look very special.

A peek into the harvest basket after lunch ... in Fiji? ... how amazingly lucky are we ???
The little "different" wild child is adorable Thanks, Justin!

We have been harvesting along. Our round % is not great, but colours coming pretty strong.
We just harvested re seed, I love big baroques, this is the big of the harvest. that's 18.9mm and then too big for teclock!
Not perfect "black smudge" on back side - hoping it might just rub off in spin.



After spinning with salt - my wife takes home the pearls and starts breaking them down. She starts taking pics and playing with stuff. She sent me this picture this morning.


I got a really cool story and video I will share in the next day or so.
We will definitely get pics of the entire harvest - colour separated. It is very difficult to see variations in colours and tones till they are separated out. I do notice the interest and views and somewhat overwhelmed how much interest is out there.
Thank you.

Great photos! We will have to collect your posts into an article.

@Justin can you PUULLLEEEAAASSEEE set aside a small batch for the Pearl-Guide ladies to purchase?????

 

[Justin Hunter]

Now that we are really and truly going through the harvest I can get more shots?
Its rather interesting as very very few people have seen our product - and see it in all states of production and entirety. - I will show the bad too.
As I said round % a little low, circle % high this harvest. - this is a bad thing.
but,.... remember how I said our circles seem to have an intensity that you just don't find in other shapes.
Well here's a couple shots that just came from my wife - we are pretty happy with "Fiji Colours".


Enjoy -

 

[Justin Hunter]

I might be able to do that.

They are stunning, and lots of Pearl-guiders love circles. They're so interesting! Thank you for sharing.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

They are all wonderful but I like the circles best.

 

[Purranha]

We will take your rejects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
