The Pearl Harvest

 

At least eighteen months and thousands of layers later the resulting blue pearl presents a lustre and iridescence that is almost magical to behold.

The Pearl Harvest is a time of great excitement and anticipation for the Eyris Blue Pearl Team; the culmination of a minimum of three years work for everyone involved. Will this be a good harvest, or a great harvest? Will the next paua contain a lustrous iridescent, brilliantly coloured, gem quality blue pearl?

Only one paua in five produces a marketable blue pearl and only one in fifty produces a near perfect pearl, with exquisite colours, a mirror finish, and a totally smooth surface.

By world standards, the blue pearl brings an exciting freshness that is unmatched for colour, lustre, and iridescence.
