Phu Quoc (also known as Dao Ngoc) is the largest island of Vietnam, located in the Gulf of Thailand. Phu Quoc Island with another island formed under Phu Quoc island district, Kien Giang province has a total area of about 593 km ², approximately the area of Singapore.In Vietnam there are some well known places of cultured pearls, as Co To Island (Quang Ninh), Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) ... But it seems more famous Phu Quoc island.
According to common wisdom, clams, oysters are mollusks are natural reflex when a foreign object enters the body, they secrete substances surrounding the foreign material damage is. In the organ, it is a foreign object accretion over the years should be very solid, has excellent shine and are called pearls.
However, at present mainly pearls are created by artificial culture. With the creation jewel implanted in his son can only make a pearl and the success rate is 40%. But pearls collected through this method usually rounded and valuable than pearls are created by inserting into the shell.
Inserting the casing, the success rate of up to 70% and can be harvested from 3-5 members / children. However, to ensure the quality of jade, it is usually only 2-3 cultured from human to generate the corresponding number of pearls. Pearls will create the shape of the implant. In this way, people can "juice" left out the jewel with the desired shape, such as the heart-shaped diamond drops of water ....
After inserting the human, harvest time is approximately 12-18 months. But the longer the time the quality and quantity of pearls will be higher. Basically, pearls are often white, sometimes pink or cream-colored or black felt. But now, the facility was able to culture these pearls are yellow, brown, purple .... "Song of techniques to create this jewel far more complex," a worker at the base of cultured pearls on Phu Quoc National Security said.
Workers firsthand look at a detailed introduction on the stage of human culture, created emerald, and this mechanic happy he pulled a boy to surgery each animal cage to let people see the collection of the pearl is not easy. Ms. Nga, a tourist confided: "At home I did not like pearls in anyway. But then out to Phu Quoc can not buy. " That was the mentality of most people who come to this island district. So the store display products of farms on the island boys are not rarely absent guests.
Buyer confidence in part because the prestige of the store, the re-introduced on how to recognize is quite simple: Just take two tablets to rub together, if the pearls worn particles will fall off very fine as powder, but when her hand brushed over the shiny pearl back to normal as not rubbed. There are also differences is that pearls are not real ... fear of fire, they still shine through normal fire, but the resin shrinks away ... so visitors are very excited to own such jewelry as earrings sell for about 200,000 to 600,000 VND / double , pearl silver ring on about 150,000 VND / unit, chain necklace with prices ranging from 800,000 VND ...
But a stroll around Phu Quoc island Vietnam, guests begin to notice the place is the island of pearls sold. Cultured pearls are sold in souvenir shops, sold in small shops with supplies as well as squid, dried shrimp, fish sauce .... Only the price is clearly separated. Same colors, sizes, but have sold only a few dozen members or a few hundred thousand members, but cost up to the million, even tens of million.
Not up happy to have the jewelry shop on Phu Quoc pearls at the production facilities, to the Sao beach (the most beautiful beach in Phu Quoc), many tourists have "assistant fire" about their "buy gaffe ". Silver ring with pearl face value at only 100,000 to 120,000 VND / unit, round pearls are cheaper prices to several hundred. You had to motivate each other "get what you pay", it is important where there bought "brand".In the evening, stroll through the night market Dinh Cau, more unexpected pearls in this price by half or even 2 / 3 the price of the previous location.
Relieve wonder in the tourists, Ms. Tam, a salesman here said pearls sold in the base of culture on the island such as the National An, Ngoc Hien is one, while at the market just kind of pearl 2,3,4 should be cheaper.
One other selling her interpretation on the basis of tax payable, rent, house sale that is not expensive. And here it costs less to sell, of course not "soft" than. However, locals said, the price of pearls has a high standard, but jade is sold, the origin is difficult to know exactly. This fact has affected the reputation of Phu Quoc island Vietnam pearls.
