@ggerbasi: Fiji pearls are one of the rarest and most alluring cultured pearls in the world. Cultivated in Pinctada margaritifera typica oyster which is only found in the pristine waters of the South Pacific around the islands of Fiji. The most common body colours in Fiji pearls include the warm-toned Fiji gold, champagne gold, green gold, pistachio, copper, natural brown, bronze, burgundy, cherry and taupe. Fijian pearls are one of the most sustainably farmed pearls. This sustainability is seen in the protection of the marine ecosystems and ocean life habitats that exist around the pearl farms. Every step is taken to keep the waters around the pearl farms clean and thriving with marine life. For instance, oyster cleaning is done on land to avoid polluting the lagoons and the resulting waste bio-material is used as agricultural compost on the farm. The pearl farms partner with local organizations to help with marine conservation and coral reef rehabilitation efforts around the pearl farms. The farms also minimize mechanisation as much as possible. The goal here is to employ local labour. Workers receive training in highly skilled farm activities including spat collection, nursery care of oysters and other husbandry activities. This focus on skill-based labour development has uplifted the rural communities around the pearl farms and revitalized the local economy. #fiji #fijipearls #ocean #sea #pearlfarming #oceantok #shelltok
