Guess the origin ...

[LondonPearl]

No - it is not Chinese ...

 

[Pareltje]

Tahiti or Fiji?

 

[LondonPearl]

Nice try - but it is neither.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Is that a Burmese SSP? It's beautiful.

 

[Pareltje]

Is it the family of these?

 

[JerseyPearl]

Pretty! Love the soft colors.

 

[Pareltje]

Thanks JP, my rare color collection of....

 

[BWeaves]

What? WHAT?

 

[Marianne]

Sea of Cortez

 

[JerseyPearl]

I almost said SoC!

 

[LondonPearl]

The correct answer, strangely, is Australian south sea pearls ....

 

[Katbran]

Really ? Unusual colour . Pretty pearl ! What farm is it from ?

 

[LondonPearl]

Atlas .... I know it is a crazy colour for Australian goods .... that was the point....

 

[Pareltje]

Atlas pearl farms are located in Indonesia, right? Or do they have farms in Australia as well?
The color is very close to my Indonesian ssp except that mine is baroque

 

[pattye]

Beautiful rare colors! Excellent luster, too!

 

[Katbran]

Pareltje - you are correct ...good eye on the colour ! Atlas is an Australian company but the farms are in Indonesia so it's an Indonesian pearl . They have a farm in Bali which is where the Winner of the CPAA competition will be visiting. The company that sold the pearl is Australian but the origin is not Australian. Pretty pearl.

 

[Pareltje]

Thanks Katbran for the confirmation. Those fancy-colored pearls in picture are Indonesian ssps. There's a pistachio keshi and a few bronze ones and a copper. I guess my pale green ssps from Pearlescence are Moluccans.

 

[Marianne]

Very interesting indeed.

 

[georgelucas]

beautiful these are !

 

[Camelotshadow]

I like that color! First time hearing of Atlas...
