Amorn Phuket Pearl: 50+ Years of Pearl Farming Experience
The local fishermen search for the oyster pearl by diving around the ocean floor before retrieve the oysters from the sea. Phuket pearl’s farm then collects the oysters from fishermen.
After the recuperation is done, each oyster is to be sorting into 3 groups.
Group 1: The good breeder pearl oysters which are to be use for future breeders.
Groups 2: The healthy pearl oysters which have the perfect shell, ready for implanting nuclei on both shells.
Groups 3: The healthy pearl oysters with some incomplete structure which would then be implanting a single nucleus on one side of the shell.
Each nucleus is implanted into the pearl oysters, which nucleus’s size is depending on the size of each oyster to be received.
After the implantation process, the oysters are to be transfer to another recuperating zone to receive the extra care from the staffs to ensure the health due to the implantation is risky for the oyster. During this period, the staffs are closely monitored every oyster for approximately 30 days.
The healthy oysters with nucleus are drilling on its shell which is outside the oyster body so that no harm is to come to the oysters. Then the pearl oysters are to be strung in a row hanging from the wooden rafts frame that floating on top of the sea while the oysters are peacefully culturing beneath the sea surface.
During the culturing period, the pearl oysters are frequently clean to remove the oyster’s natural enemy that comes to attach itself to the shell which could kill the oysters.
In approximately around 10 to 24 months, the pearls would be ready for harvesting. These pearls are to be transfer to Phuket Pearl’s factory for sorting each oyster into 3 different kind of raw product of: loose pearl, pearl on the shell and pearl oyster’s shell.
The pearls are then sending to the manufacturing procedures which consist of:
1. Pearl separation according to the quality assessment of Phuket Pearl Group Company for quality control.
2. The manufacturing process to craft into the pearl jewelry by Phuket Pearl’s factory.
3. The assembly process is to attach the selected pearls with the setting.
PEARL FARMING
Pearl farming in Phuket, Thailand, involves cultivating oyster pearls in the island’s warm, clear waters. The process begins with local fishermen who dive into the ocean’s depths to collect pearl oysters and bring them to our farm, where they are carefully seeded, nurtured, and tended to in a controlled marine environment.
Phuket’s climate and marine conditions are ideal for the growth of pearls with vibrant luster and color. Our pearl farmers are skilled artisans who combine traditional practices with modern techniques to enhance the quality and variety of the pearls harvested.
With over 50 years of experience and knowledge passed down from generation to generation, Amorn Phuket Pearl is a leader in Phuket’s oyster pearl farming industry. With innovative modern pearl farming processes and our patented Rather Round Pearl, we set the standard for quality and beauty in pearls sought after by jewelers and enthusiasts worldwide.
Our Pearl Farming Process
At Amorn in Phuket, Thailand, pearl farming is done with meticulous care and expertise:
Collection
Skilled divers retrieve potential pearl-bearing oysters from the sea.
Nurturing
At our Phuket pearl farm, the oysters are placed in recuperation areas to adapt to their new environment.
Seeding
The process includes delicately inserting a nucleus into the oyster, which initiates the pearl formation process. Over time, the oyster secretes layers of nacre around the nucleus to form the pearl. This step must be performed with precision to ensure the highest-quality pearl.
Harvesting
After months of careful monitoring and nurturing, pearls are gently harvested and expertly graded.
