Quảng Ninh taps its precious pearl potential

Bảo Hoa 

QUẢNG NINH — Hạ Long Bay may be the most popular tourist destination in Quảng Ninh, but the coastal province's local pearl farms are also worth a visit.

Blessed with clear waters and plenty of plankton, Hạ Long and Bái Tử Long bays have the ideal environment, temperature and salinity for pearl farming. High-quality cultured pearls produced here have been exported to Japan, South Korea, China and a number of European countries. 

Pearl farming started in Quảng Ninh about  四0 years ago. But it was not until the early  一 九 九0s – when a number of pearl production companies from Japan invested in the business – that it became a noticeable trade.

The pearl farming process is long and consists of several stages, from choosing the right oysters, transplanting pearl nuclei, to keeping the oysters healthy while they bear pearls, and manufacturing pearl jewellery. Each stage requires patience, hard work and craftsmanship, which makes the high value of the pearls.
