Pearl farming in Tahaa, French Poly.

Visiting a pearl farm, amazing to see how they seed the shells, and string them all together and then put them back in the water for a couple of years to produce more pearls.  They can do this three times with each shell.  The varieties are so different.

Extracting the pearl and replacing it with a substitute.

Sorting and sizing the pearls.

I have been looking through my photos and they all seem to be of sunsets, they are spectacular here.

A crowded beach in Fakarava, just a couple of friendly dogs that came for a walk with us!
