Thank you for all the wonderful comments and all, ♡‿♡ They are much appreciated ! Have a wonderful day Great BIG HUGS To You All,Dee ☆¸.•'¯) ✿ 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.

Already knew? Cleopatra was supposed to have dissolved a huge pearl in vinegar and then drunk the drink to demonstrate how an expensive meal looks like ...

Fabulous picture and a very interesting text, Dee.
