-The Salon Pearl Diver

Steaming along by South Passage Island we come suddenly upon a Salon camp. There is a fan of white sand with some boats and huts upon it, and I can see a few men and women moving. By the time I can step ashore—and it takes no more than five minutes over the emerald colored water—they all run away into the island jungle, and only one man remains looking ill at ease.

The Andaman Sea beach village of the pearl hunter consists of three boats and three huts ; but to call them huts is to misname them, for they arc of all human habitations the slightest. They consist of a few thin sticks—I can count six upright and three laid horizontally, in one—and a frail pleated mat laid over the top. A mat of bamboo strips is spread on the white sand within. Some of their few possessions are scattered around ; bags, baskets, and bedding of mat, and other articles showing some contact with civilization ; large Pegu – Bago jars, Chinese bowls and plates, a knife or two, an old beer bottle full of wild honey, a couple of wooden boxes—that is all. The spectacle that spreads beyond is of a purple lake, studded on its circumference with blue islands. The sunlight dances on the water, the sea hurtles very gently against the white sand, bees hum in the motionless air, and a bird pipes in the brake.

The Myanmar Andaman Sea is a dreamy soft and beautiful corner of the world, oceans away from everywhere. The shimmering heat plays before my drowsy eyes. . . . I turn with an effort to the realities about me.

The white sand is marked with the footprints of the colony. Its only representative stands half-cowed with fear, a deep, dull, suspicion lingering in his eyes. He is a short, strong, black-skinned salon man, with a sparse moustache and no beard, a loin-cloth and a bandana, both red.Leaving Bentinck Island and the Perforated rock, we steer directly for the Sisters. Andaman Islands bare as Sark lie upon our right, of fantastic form. One is like a Japanese eagle, another like a palace, a third is like a cathedral in the distance.

For the first time now we come upon a pearl diver, sweeping slowly with long oars along a

line of shadow, under the precipitous flanks of Maria, most northerly of the Sisters. These islands nearly all stand clean out of the water, and look as if they had no interiors but only summits to be climbed with difficulty.The first of the boats I see is the property of Olpherts the little clerk ; the second of the German Hertzog. The sea is placid as blue marble swaying with the first beat of life. Black rocks show their fangs in the sun, and deep pacific harbors lie between the islands. Between Maria and Elizabeth, where the rocks are strung in a line across the strait, there is a wonderful blaze of sea.

The pearl divers for pearl hunting are more numerous now between the  scattered islands on the sun-steeped ocean, and with the aid of the telelens I can tell if they are at work, from the dark figure of the life-line man erect at the stern.

As we gradually approach I find that four men on the primitive dive supply boat are working at the pump wheel, two with their hands and two with their feet. A man at the oar is slowly propelling the boat synchron with the buried pearl diver below, and two men stand silhouetted against the sky, one at the life, the other at the head-line ; the latter the tender and leader of the boat.

For a little space of time we wait, listening to the monotonous screeching of the wheel ; then the rope tightens, the tender hauls, a burst of bubbles is borne up in tumult to the surface, the tenders run swiftly together, and the pearl diver, like a strange beast hooked up from the sea-deeps, emerges and clings to the ladder over the side of the boat. And there he lies, bent over, the type of exhaustion.

The crew hasten to raise the helmet of the pearl diver, and lightened of its burden, he steps on deck, his startled head showing out of his monstrous clothes, his eyes blinking with the change from the deep sea floor to its sunlit surface. In a small brown net, like those which old ladies use in England when

they go shopping, lie the shells he has found. Anything from sixpence each to a thousand pounds.

In the boats, piles of shells opened with a big flat blade and peers as he opens the shells into their lustrous depths ; flinging the meat with its food of live red prawns into a bucket of water, which he afterwards searches with fingers skilled with usage. When he has gone tragically through the entire pile finding nothing, I descend with him into his cabin, garnished with bottles of sauce, a rusty tin containing a few pearls, an iron safe, an open shell with the mark on it of a rifled pearl, a pipe or two, a tin of " Navy Cut."

For the coming of the Ship is a riddle to be solved. Meanwhile we lie at ease on the cabin roof, and get the launch to tow us to the other ship at anchor in the shelter of an island. They talk of a Salon camp assembled in the neighborhood, and as we go, I see their fleet of boats making away across the water, in the wake of a double-sailed Chinaman, who has come to trade and barter.

It is evening, the closing hour, and there is a general movement on the seas. The pearl dive supply boats are coming in to their rendezvous beside an island, the home of the edible-nest builder, which from its strange picturesque outline is a landmark to them all. It is nearly bare rock, but at its corners trees droop over the sides, like parasols, and it is so much like a Japanese picture, that I give it, in emulation of the worthy Captain Forrest, the name of 0 Mimosa San. The last pink of the sunset turns the space between the islands into sea-ways of exquisite color. Cliffs and precipices rise up about us, and in their shelter we anchor for the night.

While we talk the pearl divers cleans and searches his shells by the lantern-light. Talks of ambergris, and whales, and pearl divers' risks ; of two recent deaths from the snapping of the tube (the life-tender hauled hand-over­hand, but not quick enough to save his man

, who came up dead and black in the face) ; of divers half-paralyzed and scarce able to walk, who still dive ; of one who tired of life as a cripple, shot himself ; of the man whose helmet being unadjusted let in the water (he signaled, but was kept down, being supposed nervous, and ultimately came up, dead) ; of one whose head swelled up, so that they could scarcely remove the helmet. The diver's life in these seas is risky, short, riotous, lucrative, and there is no lack of apprentices to the trade. From the distance there are borne upon the swaying sea the voices of the assembled crews, in song, in laughter, in the telling of strange tales before they sleep.

-Pearl Jewelry: The shape of things to come
myanmar pearl sorting according to pearl shape and pearl color

Traditionally, the standard for pearl jewelry has been to use white or near-white cultured pearls, freshwater pearls, or natural pearls that are perfectly round. The white, round beauties have been treasured because, in the world of pearl jewelry, they are rare. Increasingly, however, women are appreciating the uniqueness and versatility of pearls in a variety of shapes and colors - just as nature makes them. If you've always thought of pearls as white and round, it's time to think again.

Pearl Shapes

Round - Traditional round cultured pearls are often used for pearl bridal jewelry, the traditional pearl necklace, and other cultured pearl jewelry, like pearl stud earrings.

Rice - Rice pearls are small and shaped irregularly, and have crinkled surfaces.

Potato - As its name implies, potato-shaped cultured pearls have irregular oblong shapes.

Oval - Shaped like an egg, these saltwater or freshwater pearls are usually white.

Mabe - This pearl is flat on one side, giving it a dome shape. 

Keshi - Also known as poppy seed pearls, these are tiny freshwater pearls.

Button - This round freshwater pearl is flat on one side.

Coin - Like the button pearl, except it is flat on both sides.

Baroque - These freshwater pearls are completely free form, having no pre-determined shape.

Circle - Also called the ring pearl, this saltwater pearl has concave, concentric lines.

Pearl Colors

Freshwater pearls, which are often used for fashion pearl jewelry, grow in virtually every color of the rainbow. They are an affordable - though no less beautiful - alternative to traditional white, round saltwater Akoya pearls.

In the beginning pearl hunting was the only means known for harvesting pearls. A little before the start of the 20th century divers manually pulled oysters from ocean floors and river bottoms and checked each one of them individually for pearls, finally they end up in the pearl shop as pearl jewelry. However, not all natural oysters produce pearls. In fact, in a haul of three tonnes, only three or four oysters will produce perfect pearls.

Eventually the process of culturing pearls was discovered. Nowadays, almost all pearls used for jewelry are cultured by planting a core or nucleus into pearl oysters. Normally it takes three years after the planting for the pearls to be ready for harvesting but it may take up to six years also before the pearls are produced and ready. This mariculture process was first developed by Kokichi Mikimoto in Japan, who was granted a patent for the process in 1896. The nucleus is usually a polished bead made from mussel shell. This along with a small scrap of mantle tissue from another oyster to serve as an irritant, it is surgically implanted inside the oyster. Oysters which survive the subsequent surgery to remove the finished pearl are often implanted with a new, larger nucleus as part of the same procedure and then returned to the water for another three years of growth.

Originally the cultured pearls in Japan known as Akoya pearls were produced by a species of small oysters no bigger than 6 to 7 cm in size. Later Japanese pearls larger than 10 mm in diameter were produced which were extremely rare and highly prized. In the past couple of decades, cultured pearls have been

produced with larger oysters in the south Pacific and Indian Ocean. One of the largest pearl-bearing oysters is the Pinctada maxima, which is roughly the size of a dinner plate. The characteristic property of the South Sea pearls is their large size and silvery color. Sizes up to 14 mm in diameter are not uncommon. Australia is one of the major producers of South Sea pearls. Another type of South Sea pearl is the Tahitian pearls also called as Titian pearls.

In 1914 pearl farmers of Japan began culturing freshwater pearls using the pearl mussels native to Lake Biwa. This lake, the largest and most ancient in Japan, lies near the city of Kyoto. This process gained tremendous popularity so much so that the name “Biwa Pearls” became synonymous with freshwater pearls in general. Production thus increased rapidly reaching

the time of peak in 1971, when Biwa pearl farmers produced six tons of cultured pearls. At this time pollution and excessive harvesting caused the virtual extinction of this animal. Japanese pearl farmers now culture a hybrid pearl mussel—a cross between the last remaining Biwa Pearl Mussels and a closely related species from other Chinese or Japanese lakes.

In the 1990s, Japanese pearl producers also invested in producing cultured pearls with freshwater mussels in the region of Shanghai, China, and in Fiji. Freshwater pearls are characterized by the reflection of rainbow colors in the luster. Cultured pearls are also produced using abalone.Author Vivian Liu is the owner of Agino - Wholesale Fashion Costume Jewelry & Accessories Jewelry.
