Catalogue Note
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Ministry of Fisheries & Forests of Fiji stating that the origin of the pearls is Savusavu, Fiji.
In the unique environment of Fiji, a small pearl farm is using innovative techniques to produce exceptional pearls in very unusual natural colors. These colors reflect the ecosystem of Savusavu bay, incomparable to any other habitat in the world. They produce small quantities of high quality, "terroir" driven pearls in harmony with the fragile marine environment of Fiji.
