How Do Oysters Make Pearls in Phu Quoc of Vietnam
Australain man explains the production of PEARLS in Phu Quoc island of Vietnam: Phu Quoc Pearls
The quiet and calm sea waters off Phu Quoc Island are the ideal place for pearl farming and thanks to the application of modern techniques from Australia and Japan, it has blossomed in a short period of time.
The cultured pearl industry officially began on Phu Quoc Island some 18 years ago when an Australian-Vietnamese joint venture company was established. Some large Vietnamese farms were also set up at that time, including Quoc An which I had a chance to visit.
the pearl farming process of which the first step is to nucleate oysters with bits of old oyster shells. Depending on the expected shape of the pearl-to-be, pieces are gradually built up into a round or water-drop shape.
Farmers are required to select oysters aged between six months and two years. After nucleating, oysters are placed in cages, six per cage, which are then put on the sea bed. Cultured pearls are usually harvested after about two years.
During the period, the oysters must be cleaned weekly by removing barnacles from their shells. The water also must be kept clean to make pearls shiny and beautiful. The pearl is a solid substance in a spherical shape, produced by some species, mainly mollusca, including oysters and freshwater mussels.
Pearls from oysters and mussels can be made into rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and other things. Almost all the solid parts of oysters and mussels including their shells are useful. They can be made into buttons and engraved into furniture and fine arts articles while the soft parts offer nutritious food.
In traditional medicine, pearl powder can be mixed with other ingredients to produce tranquillizing or detoxicating effects and facilitate the lacrimal system. Pearl powder is also useful in the treatment of epileptic convulsion, cataract, tinnitus; dizziness and other problems of the bones, joints and skin. It is even used in cosmetics.
Quoc An Pearl Farm has rented four hectares of sea surface to raise pearl oysters. Le Cong Thang, a farm technician, explained the farm operations. First, they connect pairs of rafts with a metal wire of seven-eight meters long, which serves to fix the cages of cultured oysters on the sea bed. Depending on the oysters, technicians will then determine its cage design as well as farming time.
Natural oysters will be farmed in the sea for between three and six months to acquaint the oysters with their new environment. They are then put in a basin equipped with a dissolved-oxygen monitor for 24 hours which lets the oysters discharge a certain amount of mucus and remove them from the basin and wait until they are open: this is the right time to implant cut, round and polished mother-of-pearl beads into their reproductive organs.
The oysters have to produce exudates to survive. Some oysters will discharge the bead by themselves and no pearl will be formed in this case. The remaining ones will create a pearl sac to seal off the irritation, making the nucleus bead grow. The pearl’s color depends on the color of the nacre.
Color Variations
Cultured pearls at Quoc An may be black, white, yellow or pink or be shaded with different colors.
According to Huynh Cong Hau, another technician, it takes farmers from one to two years to raise small oysters and from three to four years to raise large ones. There are also oysters that take 10 or 20 years to become fully-fledged. The longer the farming period, the more beautiful and valuable the pears will be.
Hau said, to extract the pearl, the worker slides a knife between the oyster, taking care not to directly hit the pearl inside and scratch it. After being removed from the oyster, the pearl is cleaned and drilled by special instruments. The drilling place may help to hide blemishes, if any. Pearls are judged by their size, shape, luster and presence of blemishes.

[한국어 정보]
주민의 70%가 어업에 종사하고 있는 푸꾸옥의 어촌마을에서는 갓 잡은 싱싱하고 통통한 생선을 손질하는 현지인들을 쉽게 만날 수 있다. “무슨 음식 하세요?” “전 몰라요. 주방에서 알아서 만들겠죠.” “까복(날새기)이에요.” 나는 그저 지나가는 행인에 불과한데 웃는 얼굴로 친절히 응대해준다. “모두 가족인가요?” “네, 다 가족이에요.” 부두 끝에 다다르자 막 바닷가로 나갈 채비를 하는 한 남자가 보인다. 뭘 잡으러 가는 건지 궁금해 인사부터 건넸다. 그는 다행히도 흔쾌히 나의 동행을 허락해줬다. 푸꾸옥 바다 속에는 어떤 신기한 세상이 펼쳐져 있을까? 푸꾸옥은 ‘풍요로운 땅’ 이라는 뜻이다. 이 섬을 풍요롭게 만들어주는 몇 가지 보물이 있다는 소문을 들었기 때문에 그것을 찾아가는 이 길이 무척 설렜다. 그가 나를 안내한 곳은 한 양식장. 물고기를 양식하는 곳인가 싶었는데 그가 건져 올린 건 다름 아닌 조개더미다. 딱히 특별할 것 없는 조개가 무슨 보물일까 싶었는데 그가 조개에 숨겨진 진짜 보물을 보여 준단다. 조개가 품은 진짜 보물은 바로 진주. 알고 보니 푸꾸옥의 다른 이름이 ‘진주섬’ 일만큼 이곳의 진주는 전 세계적으로 유명하다. “이건 채취하려면 얼마나 걸려요?” “음... 대략 16개월? 15~16개월 정도요.” “15~16개월 정도요?” “네.” 푸꾸옥 바다의 물살과 수온은 조개 양식에 최적의 환경이다. 일반적으로 잘 알려진 화이트 진주나 옐로우골드 진주와 달리 푸꾸옥 진주는 검은빛과 회색빛이 오묘하게 감돌아 최상급의 진주로 알려져 있다. 나는 이 풍요로운 섬의 보물을 세 개나 선물로 받았다.

Fukuoka's fishing village, where 70% of the residents are engaged in fishing, can easily meet locals who are cooking fresh and plump fish. What kind of food are you? I do not know. I'll make it out of the kitchen. It's a carcass. I'm just a passer-by, but I kindly respond with a smile. Is it all a family? Yes, it's a family. When I reached the end of the pier I saw a man preparing to go to the beach. I wondered what he was going to catch. Fortunately he allowed me to accompany him happily. What magic world is unfolding in the sea? Fukuok means 'rich land'. I have heard rumors that there are some treasures that make this island rich, so this is the way to go. He guided me to one farm. I wanted to be a fish farmer, but it was a pile of shellfish that he brought back. I wanted to know what treasure the shellfish would be, but he showed me the real treasures hidden in the shells. The real treasures of the shell are the pearls. As far as I can see, the other name of Fukajok is 'Jinju Island'. The pearl here is famous all over the world. How long does it take to get it? Um ... about 16 months? 15 to 16 months. About 15 to 16 months? Yes. The water and water temperature of the puduchok sea are the best environment for shellfish culture. Unlike the commonly known white pearl or yellow gold pearl, the pearl pearl is known as the finest pearl, with dark and gray shades. I have received three treasures of this rich island as gifts.
