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.

Salon Pearl Diver Mergui - Myeik
Archipelago Andaman 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

, 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
|
|
 |
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

terms of fitting together with different clothing and fashion styles pearls

neutral, this makes pearls a perfect gift since its difficult to make
something wrong, they always indicate elegance and versatility.
A nice pearl bracelet, necklace of pearl

is rather slim go for freshwater pearl jewelry, they also look very good and
costs are only a fraction of the pearls from the ocean. |
