Photo and description

In the northeast of Phuket, on the island of Nagannaya, there is one of the largest pearl farms in Thailand. Founded in 1964, it supplies pearl jewelry both nationwide and internationally. Especially valuable is the fact that pearls are grown here in seawater, so their quality is much higher than that of those produced in rivers.

To date, about 100 thousand pearl oysters are grown on the Nakha farm, producing pearls. The whole process of obtaining pearls takes place over a long time with a huge expenditure of human labor. If you wish, you can observe all the stages of production yourself.

It should be noted that the formation of a pearl is a protective reaction of an oyster to the ingress of a foreign body into it. To achieve the desired result, the master slightly opens the oyster and inserts a tiny piece of coral into it. Then a huge garland of oysters is placed in the sea, where beautiful pearls will be formed within 2-5 years.

Pearls from the Nakha farm are prized for their excellent quality and variety. Different types of oysters are grown here, thus obtaining pearls of various shades - from cream and white to rare black. By the way, it was here that the largest pearl in the artificial habitat was grown - its diameter was 40 millimeters.

If you wish, you can buy pearl jewelry at a jewelry store on the territory of the Nakha farm.
