Pearl harvesting
Harvesting of the cultured pearls is usually carried out manually. However, the process can be automated with the use of simple machines. In the case of manual extraction the pearls are collected by initially separating the two shell valves, by cutting the adductor muscle, making an incision on the gonad and squeezing the pearl out. The machines used for pearl extraction usually work by dissolving the oyster soft body parts with the use of chemicals while the pearls remain as they are and become easily extractable. In case the oysters need to be re-used for a second time, the pearls are carefully removed by opening the pearl-sac through the gonad taking care not to damage nor stress the oyster. The oysters are then returned to the culture site for recovery, and after a certain length of time they can be operated for a second time to produce additional pearls. In Japan, harvesting is done during periods of low temperature and pH as the pearls tend to be of higher quality due to a thick and compact outer nacreous layer.
Finally, the harvested pearls are washed in distilled water, polished with refined salt and sorted for sale according to size, colour, shape, lustre and other external characteristics.

Strange I have something called coma I've done, not so great like this, not sure when I'll post it, backed up with many other images done. This is inspiring , love how you posed her in that pearl prop. All is super in this, makes you wonder what tests are being done. Mine lacks this unique part. Great story also my friend. 10000+
