Wild pearls... not farmed pearls...

And no I don't wear pearls because they are cultured. I said I would only wear wild pearls if I wore them! (which won't happen because they are too rare lol)

wild pearls still involves killing them oysters/mussels no?

[Leroy Peterson]

wild pearls is like asking for your coffee table to be made from trees from national park.

at least cultured pearls they re-use the flesh, shells and mother of pearl.

Yes; I guess where I'm coming from is that wild pearls are a natural process, wheras when farmed the irritant is placed inside the oyster shell to create the pearl. But I guess any sort of pearl is cruel

[xALmoN]

well, cultured pearls are still based off a captive population of oysters/mussels collected from the wild.

They are given a safe haven to live and breed, with an irritant inserted that does not affect any biological functions. As a pearl takes ages to grow to marketable size, a lot of them live longer than they would in the wild, and all of them wouldn't even know the difference. Also, meat/shells are reuseable. Shells go into the production of lime, and meat is sold as food/animal feed.

So, its debatable as to wild or cultured is more cruel. How do they determine if a wild oyster has a peal in it anyway?

[Leroy Peterson]

not entirely true, you could find a pearl in an already dead mollusk. hadnt thought of that.

But mollusk and tree fall into the same category for me.

you could, but then they'd be blister pearls and aren't your usual spherical pearls. not really of much use to your jeweller.

[Leroy Peterson]

was not aware of that. assumed pearl would be retained ok since... its a pearl.

get to pick out the pearl tomorrow. not sure if fresh or salt water :| first world problems.

if you're looking for chains, go to one of those asian jewellers @ springvale or something, they do cheaper chains. and a chain is just a chain.

remember paying 118 for a 18k white gold chain when i got my then girlf an overpriced piece of shit tiff n co key pendant.
