After a 15 year search--Abalone Mabe' Pearls!!
March 28, 2008
Greetings flyfishers and pearl lovers! I'm quite excited about my new offerings! It has taken me many years and a lot of reseaarch, investigation and just plain ferreting things out to get to this point. Somewhat more than 15 years, I'm afraid. Since a few weeks before the new year I have been going through my growing collection of abalone shells. I had decided it was high time to get my Abalone Nabe' Pearl project going and so was soon up to "here" (I'll let you guess...) in abalone shells, lapidary saws and grinders, cutting lube, abalone pieces, blister pearls, cements, epoxies and on and on. It's been a lot of messy work, but the results have been terrific! I have sitting beside me a tray of some of the most exquisite jewels imaginable--Abalone Mabe' Pearls created from Natural, Grown in the Wild and On Their Own (!) Abalone Blister Pearls!!!! They are truly amazing, gorgeous jewels cooked up in Mother Nature's own kitchen. Because of their natural origins they take beautiful and original forms that are often just stunning! As I've researched the subject, it has become very apparent that these days, though never common, natural pearls of any kind are becoming terribly, terribly rare. The molluscs that produce them have not fared well with the onslaught of modern civilization. However, by keeping doggedly at it, I have been able to acquire a decent collection of natural abalone blister pearls--all of which were harvested well in the past when abalones were not so scarce and it was legal to harvest them. I'm not an abalone (or any other kind of) diver and don't buy from contemporary divers. My collection has grown to the point that I can now offer some for sale. Now discriminating persons who wish to own such a rare and unique object to wear or simply to admire can now acquire them by visiting my website. I will be creating jewelry with many of them and as time passes I will be putting these lovelies up on my jewelry pages for sale as well. I'll let you know!
