PALA: Name the Origin of Pearls

Post by PinkDiamond »

This article is an excellent in-depth look at the beginning of a pearl's life, complete with extremely high magnification photos so you can see for yourself. The shots alone are worth seeing, and what was revealed was surprising to me. Enjoy! :!:

Cool! I've just started looking into pearls. I'm trying to find a good supplier.

Thanks Lydia but it doesn't look like they have what I need. I'm looking for strands, fully drilled for stringing. They have mostly half drilled and then the only full drill ones are about $5 each which would cost me about $400 for a necklace. I need something at wholesale pricing.
