Thank you so much for such a prompt response. You go the extra lengths to ensure that people know you are genuine, as is your product. I ordered my first string of pearls from you and they arrive tomorrow (lavender freshwater) and I can’t wait! Thanks again for being such a hands-on business owner. It makes a world of difference that you are so willing to speak to your customers. I will check out your wife’s “geodes.” Thanks, Ruthann

Amazing - the presenter was fantastic as well 💕✨

I love how informative this video is, thank you for doing this research and sharing it! It makes me so sad and sick to my stomach to see that whole cabinet of reject-pearls that were set to be destroyed... The colors in Tahitian pearls especially are so gorgeous and magical

I want to go back and buy more pearls. Nothing like the Tahitian pearl. One day my dream will come true.

Just got them.....Beyond expectations!!!! Breathtaking is not an ample description. I will NEVER buy pearls anywhere else. Folks, Jeremy is a man of his word and his pearls are every bit what he says they are!!

it's pretty sad that they are destroying all of the defunct pearls. even imperfect ones are still beautiful and could look good in jewellery

I have some Tahitian pearls , they are breath taking.... and truly amazed by its beauty, thanx to my loving husband..

What a fabulous video!! BEAUTIFULLY done. Thank you.

What a educational video like no other! Thank you very much for making this!

That's a huge nucleus they use.

Excellent video. Thank you. I look forward to your other adventures.

Excellent video....Thanks to the insight into the creation of pearls

This is how videos are suppose to look like...TY

Very interesting video! I was looking for it ! Thank you!

Love this video. ❤

Omg, I feel like I want to culture pearls too... In my backyard. But I guess I'm just gonna have to stick to buying.

Pearl-Paradise's best video...a pleasure to watch and to learn.

Wonderful and very informative video.

nice video bro love how those pearls looked

Fantastic film. Very enjoyable with a very clear explanation. I hope you don't mind but the stress in on the A in Atoll. A'-toll.

Thank you for the awesome video!

Love it.. i love pearls

Thank you! So interesting to watch.

thank you so much for this vid. i was recently exposed to the companies like "pick a pearl" or "open an oyster" doesnt take much digging to find how scammy they are. but this vid is so concise, a great thing to cite. i'm thinking about doing a quick ish vid to get the word out to not have people wasting $25 per oyster when its not exactly what its being presented as.

/thanks for sharing your video i have a few tahitian loose pearl they sure are beautiful

Great video. Educational, fun and inspiring.

Nice presentation

Nice well made video! for real!

awesome and educational. I honestly had fun watching it :) Thanks!

I don't think it is right that the government gets to decide what pearls people are allowed to sell. Otherwise, very good, high-quality, professionally done documentary. The host was congenial and not annoying, which is not always easy to find.

Danke

Gorgeous , sublime , awesome , amazing , mysterious and so pretty lady pearl u are !😍

good job

Love it

Amazing

This was such an informative video. The panning was a little fast; wanted to see the atoll natives' living area just a second longer. Otherwise, outstanding quality video. You said the nucleus is made of mussel shell from the Tennessee River Valley. Those yellow beads really looked like plastic. Is that particular mussel shell that yellow naturally? The brightness of the yellow was very uniform. Also, if the nacre only has to be 0.8mm to pass inspection, isn't that quite thin to be covering the nucleus bead? The more I see of your adventures, the more into pearls I get. Keep making videos like this and sharing with us, please. You are so fortunate to be doing what you do. One day, after I graduate, again, and start earning money, I am going to buy one of those black pearl strands shown in the video; pearls are essential in the law profession!! : )

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.

Presenter in this video is good. Asked leading questions to people interviewed so we got more detail and made it all flow naturally. One question though: what is the best internet based way to buy loose wholesale (Tahitian) pearls? This video is great because it highlighted the quality control by the government and I would love to know where/what companies you can buy from and feel confident you are not being sent fakes.

Absolutely fascinating!

Wow amazingly well done video, you were very coherent and I didn't have a single unanswered question. The visuals were perfect, and you were in such a paradise! I'm sure that was an amazingly fun trip :) thanks for sharing!

In order to LOVE pearls you must educate yourself about pearls.

Cool 😀

What do they do with all those pearls? They look like they could pave the roads with them all.

I think they can be used to make a beautiful button on clothes and I like the different shape.....

Is this the guy from the Expedition show

Awesome video. I do have to admit though, that after watching this, the strongest thought that came to my mind was....were paying how much for a half a pearl, if that that when they use the larger ball inserted into the oyster. So why have they chosen this method over others? It doesn't seem to have the value it sells for when thinking about this part of the factor....seems like such a waste of time and money with no real appreciation for a whole real pearl of genuine value or cost! Beautiful pearls! Just wish it was all pearl!

Nice video. I would like to have seen the stars "Tahitian Pearls" up close. To much of the show was focused on people. I didn't see the multiple colors that you spoke of well enough. Good post though. B-)

I thought he said "I'm German Shepherd" lol

Wait, why are the pearls destroyed?

wow that is cool!

I love tahiti

superb. can I join your next trip. I am fan of pearl necklace.

who else thought it's such a waste destroying that many of pearls :(

watching him like a hawk, making sure he doesn't slip one in his pocket...

This is fascinating. How do you know if ur pearl was exported prior to the government regulations?

Do they also eat the oysters too? Would be such a waste to lose all that tasty seafood.

This is my dream job

I have been reading a lot of article but did not see how do they transport pearl from pearl farm to pearl factory (by bus or by plane?). Furthermore, what is the challenge with that transportation selection?

as a jewellery maker, I am dismayed at the destruction of the pearls that are substandard. is there no way we could use these in crafting?

Can I have the death row pearl going to be destroy ? Can you show how they destroy it ?

Super❤

I have 2 questions: 1) Is there an industry standard ratio between the radius of the nucleus bead and the thickness of the nacre? In another word, how do I know how much "real pearl material" I am buying? 2) Why don't farmers put in gigantic beads to get gigantic cultured pearls?

Very informative video. However, it would have been better if the camera would focus right away at what is being discussed. The camera seemed to focus more on the speakers rather than the pearls themselves that are being described! What about the white Tahitian pearl,the different hues they are talking about, the different shapes, nothing is being focused! You can only catch a glimpse while the host is fidgeting them on his fingers! A bit disappointing!

Do pearls from smaller pearl farmers still don't go to auction still go through the French Plonesion Govt Inspection, such as Kamoka Pearls?

Mr. Shepherd, do you also have a similar video of your trip for the golden Philippine pearls?

What is the most expensive color? (Not including the white rare ones)? Loved Tahiti and will return again some day to buy more black pearls.

i know this may be an old video but can someone please tell me how are they destroyed, they didnt say much on how they destroy them and i like to know, why not sell them at a lower cost?

I would like to know what they do to the oysters during that 18 month period. Also some prices just for info

Can the pearls be ground down to make sea shell pearls and dye them.

❤❤❤❤

I want open pearl farm from scratch in future

Is it possible to buy some of yt?these pearls with the shell s?

wow

❤

this was really good the presenting skills ere on par also

Do they have a website of the company who sell those pearl?

Very informative.. I was looking into the possibility of operating a farm in Mumbai. After this video, it looks more viable to trade in them. Thanks.

I like these pearls~ but pearls in the shells I want to buy a pearl necklace as birthday gift to my mommy. My most wanted birthday gift is HABA car. from Richard

Hello Jeremy ... could you please make one thing clear .. after the pearl is harvested here by Mr.yu , does the shell die ? ( oyster ? ) ... the part where you say it can be eaten .. does that mean it’s dead ? ... if yes then why can’t it be reused to plant the nucleus again ? .. am just confused with that concept .. how do you determine if it can reused again or it has to be discarded ? ...

The pearl is its own advertisement of the product. The quality of the pearl is highly maintained to assure the value. There are different grades of pearls but pearls from the premier pearl farms are n e v e r allowed to fall beyond a certain grade and those that do fall below that grade are destroyed so that anyone who buys South Sea and Tahitians know they received the real value for the not inexpensive price they will pay to own the only naturally grown gem on the earth. With proper care, pearls can last hundreds of years. A famous pearl, La Pelegrina owned by Elizabeth Taylor had a history hundreds of years old, passing down in Spanish Royalty until it came into Ms. Taylor's careful hands. It was purchased by Calvin Kline for his wife at auction after Ms. Taylor died and just recently came back for auction again. Queen Elizabeth I had a woman whose sole job was to wear the queen's pearls to keep them glowing when she wasn't wearing them herself. Pearls have a couple enemies and to protect your treasure follow this rule: last thing on before you leave the house and first thing off when you come home. Perfume will destroy your pearls or at least damage them. When storing, do not just throw in with your jewelry. Wrap them in a soft fabric and check them once a year to see if they need restringing They will enhance your beautiful face and can be passed down to the next person who will love them:)

Great video, informational and well made. I've been looking to buy some pearls and even after some research I still found myself doubting who to trust. What are some way you can tell if it's fake

thank you for pointing out something that should have been very obvious to me. as I am in the UK, how much would a strand of 8-10 mm of either chocolate or the more deep grey be?

Why do those outher pearls half to be destroyed 😕?????? That Makes no sense to me?????

How to know the value my antique oval Tahiti pearl?

How to directly source from maison de la perle ? Do they have any point of contact? Any website?

What are the nucleus that are inserted to promote pearl growth made of? Are they plastic? Are all pearls started with a fake core?

I inherited some black pearls. How do know if they are dyed or true Tahitian black pearls?

july 2020 anyone.?

Hello. I would like to know what colors of akoya pearl are natraĺ. Is black or cranberry color or reď, aùthentìc or are they dyed to those colors.

❤👍👍👍👍

Hello Jeremy! That's amazing video. Please, is there any chance i can order a pearl from you? not huge quantity, just some for personal only. Thank you very much.

this video is great but I'm unclear as to why so many "unfavorable" pearls are destroyed?

What shells are they I have tons I got from North Carolina

I want that she'll

Hi, what is the material used as nucleus, is this made up of plastic or shell material
