Here is some detailed information about the products you will be purchasing...
The Oysters & Pearls
There are two types of pearls: Cultured and Natural/Wild.
Cultured pearls are real pearls grown inside real oysters at pearl farms in Japan, Australia, Indonesia, China and many more locations.
Natural/Wild Pearls are typically found by shellfish harvesters purely by accident. You might have to open 10,000 oysters to find a single decent quality natural pearl. (If someone is saying they are selling a "Natural Pearl" during a Live Opening for any amount less than $300.00 they are being dishonest!)
I will be opening Cultured, Freshwater Oysters that have Round Pearls and/or Rice or Tear Shaped Pearls inside. The round pearls come in a variety of colours from white, to black to every vibrant colour in between
I will also be opening Cultured Freshwater River Oysters that have rice or tear shaped pearls inside. These are more natural colours and are shaped like a grain of rice or tear drop and typically have ridges and a "wrinkled" looking surface.
- **As with all pearls, there may be small blemishes and markings that "naturally" occur during the growing process**
The Jewelry
All cages and necklaces are plated silver. They have been marketed as 925 Sterling Silver [from my supplier] but I prefer to err on the side of caution and advertise all jewelry I have as plated.
Loose Pearls
Any loose pearls "won" have been purchased by myself under the understanding that they are cultured, freshwater pearls that have already been shucked. Confirmation of this has not been provided by the manufacturer.
