Creating Rare Golden South Sea Pearls (35 Photos)

Golden South Sea Pearls

Jewelmer are the leading producer of rare golden Palawan South Sea pearls. The company is located on the small and remote island, one of the 7100 that forms the nation of the Philippines.

Palawan is just one of 1,700 islands that are home to flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world as well as one of the few places that the gold-lipped Pinctada maxima oyster, the only bivalve capable of producing the golden South Sea pearl, can grow.

There are some 360 interactions involved in the culturing process, beginning with the birth of the oyster larva and fast forwarding 6 years to the extraction of the magical South Sea Pearl.

A truly remarkable process which you can follow through, from start to finish, in the pictures below.
