HATCHERY                                                         Parent oysters are carefully selected with the right qualities to breed the perfect golden color pearls

​

GRAFTING
A highly skilled master grafter insert a shell nucleus and a tissue graft (a small piece of mantle tissue) in the gonad, the reproductive organ of the  Pinctada Maxima oysters.

​

POST OPERATION
After grafting, the oysters are placed in special boxes at 7-meter depth in order to minimize the oyster stress and limit the percentage of nucleus rejection for period of 3 months.

​

CULTIVATION PERIOD                                 The oysters will stay in the deep water for period of 4 to 5 years and regularly cleaned to ensure the health of the oysters. During that period, a thick layer of nacre will coat around the inserted nuclei.

​

HARVEST                                                             After 4 to 5 years of tender care, a beautiful gem is born. During this magical moment, a lustrous golden pearl is extracted out from the oyster.
