Hi, GemGeek. I'm so pleased to hear that.
Thank you, I appreciate it!

You are welcome, Adeline Leigh. It's my pleasure.

I think it's absolutely beautiful wherever its from!! Well done!

It's interesting on that web site that they list both Tahitian Strands and Black South Sea strands ...they seem to use the terms interchangeably. They say Tahitian (Black South Sea) pearls.

I'm surprised to hear everyone say that there are no Pinctada margaritifera pearls from Australia. As far as I know, there are several small farms there that farm our Tahitian species.

So that means that this strand could be from Australia...? Wow, that's amazing!
It is a beautiful strand though, csj - Congratulations!

its probably a genuine tahitian pearl necklace. its a nice strand dont get me wrong. but the certificate is just a selling tool.

Hi CSJ,
I didn't say that there weren't any weird sources from Tahiti.
Whatever the provenance it's pretty though.

Evening All

I am unable to say where the strand is from but let everyone know, Black Pearls are grown in the west of Australia.

I've been reading about it for quite a few years now. I think it's around the Abrollus Islands. I'm not familiar with the area but, they have been growing for a while.

With a bit of luck, someone from the West Australian Industry can comment.

I was talking business with someone associated with the West Aus Industry a week ago and he commented that he'd been reading my post's.

So people from the west, Stop just reading and make a comment please. It's time to promote yourselves.

Have a good week-end all.

Sorry folks

I miss-spelt the islands name it's actually Abrolhus Islands.

Just had a google to see and came up with Chimere Pearls. I do not know them but felt the need to let everyone know what actually happens in Australia.

See ya.

Seawater pearls, As I know that nacre over 0.6mm could be quality "A", Especially, Tahitian Pearl is famous with at least 0.8mm.
So it looks great.

 

[pearlescence]

well, you really do learn something every day!

 

[Katbran]

Again, read the web site - he's using the term Black South Sea and Tahitian to describe the same item..they seem to mean the same thing to him. This company is Dranix isn't it?

 

[Amrita]

Thanks for that informative post R&B. So there are black pearls farmed in Australia - that is indeed not a very well known fact at all..

 

[Caitlin]

Rusty, your posts are pearls of info!!

 

[Josh]

Thanks Rusty, I was hoping you would back me on this one. I was surprised that no one else did.
Kat, thanks for reminding me. I've got a terrible clog in my sink and I've been meaning to put some Dranix on my grocery list.

 

[csj]

Yes, Katbran . It's from Dranix .
And thank you R&B for sharing.
If anyone have any information about the differences between each pearl comes from.
Please share it.

Ha ha hahaha, Josh, straight for the jugular (gurgle)!

And yeah, remember the book Pearl Cove by Elizabeth Lowell? Not that she's Strack, but the black pearl farming was in Australia. She and her husband actually do a lot of research before they write on a topic, and don't take liberties with the factual portions, although they are writing fiction...But the book's copyright is 1999, so if truth, there's a small bit of black SS pearl farming been going on in W Australia since before then.

Im delighted that that wasn't a fabrication! Now, that's the way to go - Live all over the pearling world doing research on pearls (and rubies, and amber and their other topics).
Oops sorry, sidetracked, many sorries...
