About freshwater pearls:
Freshwater pearls are a kind of pearl that comes from freshwater mussels. They are produced in Japan and the United States on a limited scale, but are now almost exclusive to China. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission requires that freshwater pearls be referred to as "freshwater cultured pearls" in commerce.
Today China is the only commercial producer of freshwater pearls.
Freshwater pearl harvests are typically bought while still in the shell. After harvest the pearls are delivered to a first-stage factory, which is responsible for cleaning and sorting the pearls by size and shape. After this process has been completed, the pearls are considered ready material for processing factories. These smaller factories perform the treatments that are nearly universal to all freshwater pearls. The pearls are pre-treated (maeshori) in a warm and cold chemical solution and then bleached. The pearls that exhibit strong coloration will only go through the maeshori.
After the pearls are bleached they are drilled and then polished with a mixture of cornmeal and wax. Finally they are matched into temporary strands, which are then matched again into hanks. Hanks are composed of 5 to 10 temporary strands and are considered wholesale ready.

Brian - fast service and beautiful jewelry
I bought some jewelry from their lotus galleries on Kauai in the past, but I've never used the website before. Anyways, everything went fast and I didn't have to pay for shipping. I'm very happy with my pearl bracelet, it's beautiful :) Mahalo
Christine - very unique stone
I own a meditation and yoga studio and I had a chance to visit your gallery in Kapaa and meet the owner. Since I got your lingam stone all my students noticed a huge difference in energy flow and feel much calmer when meditating. I've been to India myself and I know how hard is to find them in such a good shape and size. btw. Thank you for your presentation and hope to see you again,
Roy L - good service, we'll buy again
I was surprised to see my Quan Yin garden statue arrive so quickly, it now sits in the garden overlooking the fish pond. I will order again with confidence. Thank you
Crystal - most beautiful pendant I've ever seen
I wear jyotish jewelry all the time and this one is one of my favorites. Thank you very much for your beautiful collection. It'd be nice to see more pictures though.
Maria - thank you !
I love your Tahitian black pearl rings, but please show more pictures for your products, maybe something like a picture of a woman wearing the piece to see how big it is. Thank you for a quick and friendly service, hope to visit Hawaii some time :).
Amy - gorgeous earrings, thank you
The only thing that I'd like to see on your website is more pictures. Other than that everything went smooth and I really enjoy your earrings. Thank you,
Gabi D. - love your shell necklace
I visited your Poipu gallery this summer and it was incredible to see a piece of Tibet in a tropical paradise. I wanted to thank you for this beautiful necklace. Best regards,
James, Santa Fe - found a gift for mother's day
I have to admit I was worrying a little about the shipment from Hawaii arriving on time, but delivery was exceptionally fast and my mother loved the earrings I got for her. Keep up the good work.
Mike D. - amazing collection
I was surprised at the rare collection of artifacts on your website. I particularly collect Buddha statues, but was happy to also find bronze Buddha hands that made a great addition to my house. Thank you for a friendly service,
