This is so cool. And it's very labor intensive also. It's really amazing how pearls became so much more accessible with the development of cultured pearls
Just go on ebay or amazon. You can buy cultured clams and mussles and open them up yourself guaranteed to have a pearl. Dole plantation I'm Hawaii offers it to tourists but it's much cheaper to get online
If you live in an area with freshwater muscles you can just go dig them up and try to find some but it's hard to reccomend that since so many freshwater muscles are endangered because of it. I'm from arkansas and a freshwater pearl is on a crown of british royalty from my state. During the late 1800s to early 1900s there was a pearl rush here and it really damaged our muscle population. If you find a healthy population of them in a clean river or stream, it wouldn't hurt to take a couple handfuls and check them. Just be sure to eat them (they're edible) or at the very least return them to the creek for fish to feed on. Please dont disrupt small populations just for the small chance of finding one

I just purchased a pink freshwater pearl bracelet today and got curious as to what a "cultured freshwater pearl" was. Those women who sort those pearls need to have a good eye, like, how do they not all start to look the same after a while?
Aimbotting $100000000000 turnovers legal and proud! this is full legal heist recorded too! ✌️ You guys (just in this vid) are the best! no sarcasm intended
Fantastic place. Awesome procedure of getting shells. Thats a 😍alot of beautiful shells 🐚!!! I have millions of collections too 😊... that was a wonderful video..
Adna Sakic omg right?? How not to pocket some lol jokes! I wouldn't, but it would be hard not to. They're so pretty. But maybe working with them all day every day makes the pearls lose their appeal
Actually the shell fish here creates a defence mechanism in order to it it realize a chemical... whenever a foreign particle enter into it it soon triggers the chemical and they form a layer around that particle after 5-6 yrs it transfer into pearl...so here u can see the worms r foreign particle ..zoology student here😋😄
Now I know who the people are who are responsible for drilling pearls!! I will NEVER understand how or why, they take a gorgeous pearl that is meant to be drilled lengthwise, but instead they drill the pearl in the center of it, thus rendering the pearl ugly and unusable. I cannot count the times that I have ran across this. I have seen some outstandingly gorgeous pearls that had they been drilled correctly would have made beautiful earrings and necklaces, but because they were drilled the WRONG way, the pearls were unusable . I buy thousands of pearls every year, as I make genuine pearl and gemstone jewelry. However, due to Covid19, the price has gone up immensely!! Just the same, I look at pearls much as I do people. Each one has it's own unique shine and shape, but each is beautiful in its own right.
I was wanting to know what speficslly they are putting in there. Naturally Pearl's for when dust or sand or a small rock gets inside their shells. They then build up a coating around the foreign object out if their shell material to make it less bothersome on them. They smother it out and round it out so their isnt jagged and doesnt hurt.
I’ll be willing to bet that those poor hardworking people are not paid enough for the extensive work that they’re doing. If it were in the U.S. that would be completely different.
