I so much appreciate the way you guys handle your oysters. They get to go back home and work on making another beautiful pearl and living it's best oyster life!
It’s actually a cruel practice. They open the shell, surgically implant an irritant into the muscle, and then the oyster will form the pearl through many layers of nacre. The only benefit here with not killing the oyster is that they can repurpose the oyster for more farming. Imagine getting something implanted into your muscles and then your scar tissue is farmed over and over again; would it be more humane to kill you instead of keep you alive for more surgeries?

My stepmother doesn't like gems so my dad used a pink pearl for their rings. We lived in a part of China where the local supermarket had a gimmick where if you spent 50 yen you got a ticket to open a fresh water clam. If the clam had a pearl you got to keep it. Me and my brother were in our mid teens at the time and ate a lot so we ended up with quite a few pearls. These were mostly white but several, including the two my dad later used for wedding rings, were a really nice pink color.
It didn't start with a grain of sand though. These farmed oysters are implanted with a nucleus so the end result is a nice, round pearl that fetches a good price on the market.
The encystation of a foreign body in nacre is often a parasite or invasive worm, and sometimes the oysters own external shell fragments. A piece of sand all most is never the cause.
My dad and I went to a tiny island here in Australia that was a Pearl farm for him to inspect the buildings for asbestos (20ish years ago). A little Cessna 172, short little flight and we were there. The workers showed me how they farmed the pearls and were just the nicest folks (all backpackers and seasonal workers from across the world). Anyway, we got paid for that job in pearls and we still have them now. They are gorgeous natural pearls and some have a gorgeous colour. I love them

You know they don't have brains or their nerves aren't capable of anything but reflexes. They don't feel like jellyfish or worms don't. This practice is about sustainable pearl harvesting so it doesn't require removing it from the ecosystem.
Chinese don't give a damn about life. Don't watch the video on them harvesting rabbits for fur. Live rabbits, they chop off their feet then their ears and just toss them into a pile.
@@Moravia13,,,then why not just kill it once it's out of the water if he's gonna eat them anyways? why be so gentle and pry the oyster open if he's just gonna snap it after he gets the pearl?
Love a day when I’m educated on something I didn’t know I needed education on. Had absolutely no idea there was a way of harvesting pearls from oysters without ‘unaliving’ the oyster. Thank you 😊
for the first process they reimplant the nucleus and a piece of mantle tissue into the oyster, once the pearl sack has grown, they remove the pearl slowly and delicately. during the second to fourth harvest, they implant a new nucleus several times in the same oyster because you do not need another piece of graft tissue these oysters don't get killed in the process for the south sea pearls like the gold and white lipped oyster ( pinctada maxima, the black lipped oyster ( pinctada margaritifera but only the akoya pearl oyster ( pinctada fucata ) gets killed at harvest .
They legit don’t have brains, they don’t have any thought or emotion and don’t feel pain, they are about as conscious as a rock, so it doesn’t really matter
I love seeing all the comments about how gentle and loving he was, and respectful of the oyster itself… shows how much we’ve grown and ascended as a collective, seeing everything as one as we are! Love to you, all that have ascended to that level. Love to you all that have not, and hope you do if it is what you wish! But it’s an amazing place to be!

Wow, beautiful. I’m a June baby and always loved pearls. While living in Japan, I was lucky to be gifted with a white strand necklace, grey necklace, two bracelets ( single and triple strand) and stud earrings. I cherish them so much.
When I visited my brother in Manila, we went to the Greenhills Shopping Center where there is a giant jewelry mart, and I bought some golden south seas pearls for earrings. Then when I got home, I had my jeweler turn them into a pair of earrings and saved myself thousands of what it would have cost if I bought them already made into earrings.
Ill bet the oyster is thankful to have the irritant removed, too. I agree with a lot of people here saying that its nice to see you being gentle with harvesting the pearl!
The Philippines’ south sea pearls has the rarest color available. It took four years for a pearl farmer to find a perfect 18mm golden south sea. And I’m lucky enough to obtain it. Just stunning.
Exceptionally stunning, the color is magical, my all time favorite color, perfect intensity, hue perfection. I don’t see this color very often and when I do, of course way out of my price range.
Look how gentle he is with the oyster. South sea pearls are the most beautiful lustre,they actually send a light across someone's neck.esspecially ,10mm,only seen that size twice in a full necklace,so rare I like black too,that lustre has a blue black colour on the neck.

@tayabagley9104 um the people making videos absolutely do not eat them. It's not safe 🙄
I was expecting you to crack it in half! I’m so glad you oh so gently spooned out the pearls!
Mad respect for being humane to the oyster. I hate seeing those videos with those ladies that literally crack them open with hammers n shjt
You know they don't have brains or their nerves aren't capable of anything but reflexes. They don't feel like jellyfish or worms don't. This practice is about sustainable pearl harvesting so it doesn't require removing it from the ecosystem.
Yes nothing pisses me off more than seeing humans destroy living things for profit or fun
Chinese don't give a damn about life. Don't watch the video on them harvesting rabbits for fur. Live rabbits, they chop off their feet then their ears and just toss them into a pile.
Umm because the ones you have seen get cracked open and shit are for eating.
@@tedgriffin8459nah some people actually crack them open for only pearls and throw them away. Many people think it tastes like shit anyways
That's gorgeous and I love that you aren't killing Oysters to obtain them ❤
Says who. He gobbles them down afterwards.
@@Moravia13,,,then why not just kill it once it's out of the water if he's gonna eat them anyways? why be so gentle and pry the oyster open if he's just gonna snap it after he gets the pearl?
I got hungry watching this video.
@@Moravia13Says who.
who care man its a friggin invertebrate
Thank you for not cracking it open like a kid on Christmas Day, now it can live another day and produce another beautiful natural pearl.
Love a day when I’m educated on something I didn’t know I needed education on. Had absolutely no idea there was a way of harvesting pearls from oysters without ‘unaliving’ the oyster. Thank you 😊
ty for being so gentle to them and second holy cow Ive never seen or even considered a pearl could be golden O_O
He's so gentle ensuring he doesnt harm or damage the oyster
Props for going out of your way to not kill the oysters in the process. Says a lot about your character.
so farmers not killing cows in a milk farm also says alot about their character?
I didn't know you could harvest the pearls without harming the oysters. So amazing!
Much appreciated. You’re not killing this beautiful creature just for the Pearl.❤
beautiful creature? apparently they are less sentient than trees lol.
Never seen a gold pearl before. It's beautiful.
Wow you were so gentle and it looks like the oyster is still alive. Great job! The pearl is pretty too 😀👍
for the first process they reimplant the nucleus and a piece of mantle tissue into the oyster, once the pearl sack has grown, they remove the pearl slowly and delicately. during the second to fourth harvest, they implant a new nucleus several times in the same oyster because you do not need another piece of graft tissue these oysters don't get killed in the process for the south sea pearls like the gold and white lipped oyster ( pinctada maxima, the black lipped oyster ( pinctada margaritifera but only the akoya pearl oyster ( pinctada fucata ) gets killed at harvest .
I can't stop watching these videos - they're just gorgeous!
Really cool to see how gentle you were with the oyster ❤! Beautiful pearl!
Me hace feliz ver esta clase de vídeos en dónde se hace uso del amor hacia otro ser vivo. Hermoso proceder, gracias.❤
That pearl is beautiful 🥰. Never knew they came in that gorgeous golden color. Thanks for not killing the oyster.
Thank you for respecting these magical creations.
It is nice to see someone that is being gentle with the oyster
I am greatful that you took the peal without killing or harming him.❤

They legit don’t have brains, they don’t have any thought or emotion and don’t feel pain, they are about as conscious as a rock, so it doesn’t really matter
i deadass thought the oysters at the beginning were steaks
Dead ass is gross!
what kinda steaks you having bro 😂
I love seeing all the comments about how gentle and loving he was, and respectful of the oyster itself… shows how much we’ve grown and ascended as a collective, seeing everything as one as we are! Love to you, all that have ascended to that level. Love to you all that have not, and hope you do if it is what you wish! But it’s an amazing place to be!
Awesome comment❤😊
My people 🙏❤️
Eat it
I love this comment
Not all part of the world are growing. We are going down due to salvage immigrants almost everywhere in the West. Australia doesn’t accept them so the country can grow.
So do you label this individual oyster and try and get it to make another golden pearl?
Yes you can, it is called "surgrêfe" in french idk the english definition for thid word
Why dont pearl farmers buy a big batch of golden pearl oysters
@@griddycheesethere are a few reasons:
1. expensive af
2. inefficient to sift through every single oyster
3. really rare
4. greedy people might take the pearls out and sell the oyster shells
@@panzer.kampfwagen We have the same problem in french polynesia. Also, wanna heard about the crash of the Black pearl ?
@@neutralprofit7699 currently 2 am where i live but sure
Wow, beautiful. I’m a June baby and always loved pearls. While living in Japan, I was lucky to be gifted with a white strand necklace, grey necklace, two bracelets ( single and triple strand) and stud earrings. I cherish them so much.
Glad the oysters can live after pearls are removed❤
most of them just get discarded tho.. = death
Omg that pearl is beautiful. I knew pearls could be a range of colors, but I never knew they could be such a beautiful saturated gold color.
I love the dark ones, something about them is so beautiful
When I visited my brother in Manila, we went to the Greenhills Shopping Center where there is a giant jewelry mart, and I bought some golden south seas pearls for earrings. Then when I got home, I had my jeweler turn them into a pair of earrings and saved myself thousands of what it would have cost if I bought them already made into earrings.
I love how careful he was when removing the pearls ❤
Ill bet the oyster is thankful to have the irritant removed, too. I agree with a lot of people here saying that its nice to see you being gentle with harvesting the pearl!
They add a new ball to be turned into a pearl again but the oyster gets a good home on return
i love how gentle you are with the oysters!
That literally made me gasp! That's stunning!
Thank you for being so humane.
Man I might actually wear pearls. Real pearls because of the way you handle your oysters. They get to go home again. That’s marvelous!!!
I love watching your gentle manner as you retrieve the pearl👌🏼♥️
that's just the way to do it...
I have a earring and necklace set of Tahitian pearls. They are so pretty.
Same my Tati made it for me in Tahiti
@@AnabolicsDookieone big score Arthur
Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines. That's the general geography where you find these beautiful pearls
The Philippines’ south sea pearls has the rarest color available. It took four years for a pearl farmer to find a perfect 18mm golden south sea. And I’m lucky enough to obtain it. Just stunning.
@@idakota1966...ok?
Awww! How gentle you are with them
Respect the shit outta you for treating the oyster gentle so they could love another day❤
I absolutely how gentle you are with oysters 😊
I’m going to go look for oysters now!
**finds a Stonefish instead** ☠️
This vid seems more legit than that Asian lady that rips apart HUGE river oysters and slash out bucket loads of golden ball-bearing sized balls. 😅
Some types of oysters do have multiple pearls up to 50 sometimes
Yeah, don’t believe everything you see on UA-cam lol
Of course because Asains don't have no respect for life
Exceptionally stunning, the color is magical, my all time favorite color, perfect intensity, hue perfection. I don’t see this color very often and when I do, of course way out of my price range.
This was absolutely incredible… I love the way you respect the life of the oyster ❤
Southsea pearls have a pretty big presence throughout SEAsia. They're quite treasured in the Philippines, for sure
Wow. Mother nature is amazing and you respect her.
It’s absolutely gorgeous ❤ I love Tahiti
I love that you extract the pearl without killing or harming the oyster. 🥰
This is probably a huge relief for the oyster, it’s probably like a huge tonsil stone.
You kept it alive. I’m so grateful.😊❤
Look how gentle he is with the oyster.
South sea pearls are the most beautiful lustre,they actually send a light across someone's neck.esspecially ,10mm,only seen that size twice in a full necklace,so rare
I like black too,that lustre has a blue black colour on the neck.
Guy: "This is probably the most expensive pearl in the world"
My intrusive thoughts: *Eat it!*
I’ve seen videos of people literally ripping off the top and beating it on a rock. Thank you for being so gentle and keeping it alive ❤
@@fernieferfern Understandable. The other videos were of people farming them as well but they didn’t care about keeping it alive. I’m just glad he’s being gentle with them as they can always grow the pearl back
Glad to know that Australia's beauty continues to thrive (I'm Aussie, btw)
"im Aussie, btw"
*proceeds to throw up*
Beautiful.
💎🌺🌷🌟🕊
I love how you don't unalive them we need more people like you 💕
Do you mean kill? Who says “unalive” hahaha 😅
If they kill it, they don't get more pearls. It's not about the oyster at all.
@@An00bisY00tubislol people say unalive because UA-cam will ristrict you, remove your comment etc if you say things like kill, murder, suicide. They sensor a lot of things.
@@An00bisY00tubispeople avoiding youtube censor
@@margaritastyle1both can be true...
That animal MADE that pearl!! Show respect and gratitude to that AMAZING animal!!!
He gets a good home and safety from predators
Beautiful! Thank you for showing the process. ❤
Your calm voice is refreshing after scrolling so long. That pearl is really pretty too
at first i thought these were burnt ping pong paddles
I love how gentle he is with the oyster. He doesn't kill it. Much respect!

Aptly, the illustration of the fine pearl in the scriptures.
Gorgeous!
