the dial bar soap contained a chemical called “hexachlorophene” which was never actually established as a germ killing agent but it was established that it can cause brain damage in infants so in the 1970’s dial was ordered to stop using this chemical in their bar soap and it was relegated to strictly being used in the hospital environments for sterilization and cleaning . since the discontinuation of the hexachlorophene in the dial bar soap it has been proven to be in fact a very powerful antibacterial agent .
today it is difficult to find soap that does not make the claim of being an antibacterial soap . most brands offer at least one line of antibacterial products .
it may surprise you to find out that antibacterial soap was invented according to all records in 1984 . it could be easily assumed that this type of soap has been around a lot longer than three decades due to its easy integration into each person’s daily lifestyle . soap in itself has been around longer ; however antibacterial soap is actually the combination of any soap product with added antimicrobial ingredients to kill off bacteria .

googled
dial corporate offices to contact someone concerning a rash i incurred all over my face pursuant to using dial basics hypoallergenic soap . there did not seem to be that data available . thus , i am writing a review . i had hoped maybe someone at dial might be able to send me another soap without whatever it was that caused the rash on my face . all i believe needs to be done about this soap is to take off the hypoallergenic marketing ploy . i like the soap for all other parts of my body , but a manufacturer cannot advertise hypoallergenic when it is not .

i always used the same soap to refill my dispensers , i use the liquid dial refill bottles ( not the foam type ) . well when i refilled my bottles later that day the liquid soap turned white and watery inside . come to find out they use now a new formula and you should not mix it , however never tell the customers on the label . this is terrible and will never purchase a dial soap again ! ! ! who knows what kind of chemicals they put in it now and what harm mixing them did .

this is the best soap to use for cleanliness and especially satisfying for use on those occasional non - shower days . have been using dial for years , but it is difficult to find in uk . i highly recommend it .
i love dial soap and can ' t be without it . but you need to change the shape and make it perfectly rectangle all the way around . right now your bar soap is contour in the middle , so half way through the bar it breaks in half which makes it hard to use and stay in the shower soap dish . there is no reason the contour the bar , just make it straight and it would last longer and be easier to use .
mr . poshi and mr . divone spent long hours testing the effects of triclosan on various familiar bacteria that is found on the skin before their patent was approved . oddly enough dial corporation was one of the first companies to use the new patent in their soap products and re - introduce the idea of a soap that would kill germs on contact .
it occured to me that
dial
is a pretty meaningless word for a soap brand . what ' s the origin of that ? at their website , there are some difficult - to - navigate history tidbits , one of which is as follows :
did you know it was 8 o ' clock on the clock of the original dial® soap packaging ?
why no , i didn ' t know that . is that where the dial comes from ? the dial of a clock ? and a clock presumably implies
wash yourself at x intervals throughout the day
- like the softdrink you were supposed to drink at 10 : 00 , 2 : 00 and 4 : 00 ( dr . pepper ? )
dead sea salt soap 3 pk - shea butter , argan oil , magnesium , sulfur , minerals . all . . .
a gentle lotion soap that is ph - balanced and blended with skin conditioners to help keep hands feeling soft and smooth .
1 . antibacterial soaps are no more effective than conventional soap and water . as mentioned in the announcement , 42 years of fda research—along with countless independent studies —have produced no evidence that triclosan provides any health benefits as compared to old - fashioned soap .
i started using dial on a regular basis last summer once i began getting abscesses in minor skin wounds . the rash was slow to develop but itched horribly . now that 8 months have passed and i realized it was the daily use of dial soap i ' ve noticed the areas that were affected are extremely discolored as though i used a skin bleach . it ' s very unattractive and has scarred me permanently . i will be looking into filing for damages . no soap should be this corrosive .

knowing that every hotel is unique and has diverse customer and amenity needs , henkel offers a variety of amenity options . the dial
the plan for the newly slimmed dial corp . called for a focus on its four core brands : dial soaps , purex detergents , renuzit air fresheners , and armour star canned meats . these four product lines accounted for 90 percent of dial ' s revenues in 1996 . the company intended to raise that proportion even higher by selling or discontinuing underperforming brands . in july 1997 it followed through on that plan by selling brillo soap pads , parsons ammonia , bo peep ammonia , sno bol toilet bowl cleaner , cameo metal cleaner , and rain drops water softener . church & dwight , manufacturer of arm & hammer products , bought the brands and dial ' s london , ohio , brillo plant . the same year dial also sold its bruce floor care brand to triangle pacific corp . dial received about $ 30 million for these sales , and the company used the proceeds to pay down its heavy debt load .
i actually tried the soap first in my aunt ' s place and i liked that its scent is not too strong . plus it ' s moisturizing unlike other antibacterial soaps that dries my skin . no burning feeling on my face too . i have loved it since then and we ' re using it as a family soap now . very affordable soap . although usually only available in big supermarkets .
the dial brand name was first given to a unique deodorant soap developed by researchers at the chicago - based meat processing business of armour & company . introduced in 1948 , dial featured a newly developed germicide , known as at - 7 , that was believed to reduce up to 80 percent more of the bacteria found on the skin than other soaps . said to provide
' round the clock protection ,
dial was first advertised in the chicago tribune , on paper printed with scented ink . the innovative advertisement attracted a great deal of attention , and the soap achieved high sales from the onset . one chicago store reportedly sold more than 4 , 000 bars in one day .
a few weeks ago , the fda announced a bold new position on antibacterial soap : manufacturers have to show that it ' s both safe and more effective than simply washing with conventional soap and water , or they have to take it off the shelves in the next few years .
i have been buying and using dial gold bar forever ! some time in october , we restocked the dial gold bar and that ' s when the problems started . after using everyone in the house broke out with a terrible rash . we changed washing powder , softeners , and dryers sheets . next we changed lotions . i stopped using perfumes . finally after taking the kids to the doctor , we changed the soap . we purchased unscented body bar . that has helped tremendously . idk what dial has done to the gold bar but please change it back !
i found this soap , takes out all your skin moisture and is very harsh . i came up in a rash which was very sore .
if you ' re planning on giving up antibacterial soap—like johnson & johnson , kaiser permanente and several other companies have recently done—you have a couple options .

i was in a hurry before work and low on cash so i went to the local dollar general and bought a bottle of dial gold liquid hand soap instead of returning to cvs to buy the soap i ' d been using . at first i was using it just to swab the entry points of the piercing . shortly afterward the area of my piercing started itching like crazy but i didn ' t think much of it . it ' s a pretty normal occurrence at this stage of healing . yesterday ( feb 25 , 2017 ) , i did a more thorough cleaning with the dial and my entire ear became very irritated . naturally , i ' ve decided to discontinue use and go buy the previous soap i ' d been using . i also have a rash on my hands but i ' m not sure if it ' s the dial or the dish soap we use at work which tends to make me break out as well . all i can say is that i ' m very glad i caught it quickly . i would have been very upset if this experience ruined my piercing .
smells like a good clean soap should nice and fresh . arrived promptly great seller . does not dry or irritate my sensitive skin , smell great all day .
i have never broken out in a rash after using a liquid soap - - until i recently used a bottle of dial . i think they must have changed their formula , because this product caused me to break out with a burning , itching rash . am interested to see that others are experiencing the same thing .

i recently purchased a package of 8 bars of dial corporation soap . this company insults the intelligence of the american consumer . they carved out at least an ounce of the bar , making it contour in shape . they do this to reduce the amount of ingredients used in the bar and also charge more for the product . once you use about half the bar ( which is now hard to handle due to shape ) , the bar does not suds hardly at all . so they have also reduced the suds ingredient also . about 3 / 4 through the bar , you will be lucky to get any suds whatsoever . don ' t buy dial soap ! ! !

the dial corp . is a leading manufacturer of consumer products in the united states , with four core brands : dial soaps , purex detergents , renuzit air fresheners , and armour star canned meats . dial led the u . s . antibacterial soap market in 1997 and was the third largest seller of detergents . its canned meats were second in sales only to hormel . having grown to an unwieldy conglomerate in the 1960s and 1970s , the corporation underwent several episodes of restructuring and name changes . in 1987 it sold its greyhound bus lines ; in 1992 , it spun off its financial services division to form finova ; and in 1996 , it spun off its other service businesses to form viad corp .

i ' ve used dial for years , but now the fda has banned the antibacterial ingredient : triclosan . i think they have a year to change that chemical for another . i have used dial since childhood . in the army , its use was recommended in one version of the ranger manual ! at 77 , i ' ll continue to use it .

i suspect there are a lot of consumers who assume that by using an antibacterial soap product , they are protecting themselves from illness , protecting their families ,
sandra kweder , deputy director of the fda ' s drug center , told the ap .
but we don ' t have any evidence that that is really the case over simple soap and water .
with stiff competition in the domestic soap and detergent market , particularly from giants procter & gamble , colgate - palmolive , and unilever , dial needed further measures to improve their returns . in an effort to cut costs , the company moved its headquarters from phoenix , arizona , to suburban scottsdale in 1997 . it also eliminated approximately 250 jobs , mostly in management and administration .
but dial ' s parent company , greyhound corp . , will acquire the right to use the name and the legendary mule - team logo for 20 mule team borax , lorah said .
the soap does not have the same smell as i’ve purchased in the past . it has barely lasted one week for once a day shower . one bar less then one week of use ?

to minimize confusion for its investors and consumers by distinguishing the company from the greyhound bus line it had sold off three years before , the company changed its name to greyhound dial in march 1990 . at the time teets decided to retain
greyhound
as part of the company ' s new name in order to reflect the ten subsidiaries the company still owned that carried the greyhound name , such as greyhound exhibit group . within the year , however , when greyhound dial switchboard operators were still receiving numerous calls regarding bus routes and fares , management decided to make the message clearer still by renaming the company the dial corp .
in 1991 the dial corp . reported a loss of $ 57 . 6 million due to its restructuring and the costs involved in spinning off some of its subsidiaries . revenues were up from $ 3 . 5 to $ 3 . 6 billion , however , and management estimated that without the onetime charges against earnings in 1991 , the dial corp . would have reported a net income of $ 122 . 4 million .

good value for the price paid . only thing is that i would like it to last longer but the soap breaks way too quicker than i want it to and it is not very usable once it breaks .

started using this red and orange dial soap about february 2018 . almost immediately had small splotchy areas appear and disappear almost all over my body - mostly arms , neck and feet ! itchy as hell . calamine lotion and * * doesn ' t help at all . i ' m going to change soaps today for sure but i guess the irritation will last for a good while . help and thanks in advance for your advice !
i am very particular about the soaps and shampoos i use for my face and body and am especially careful about the soap i use on my son . i have been using oil of olay soap ( shea butter ) only on my face for at least a decade . i am prone to breakouts from anything that dries it out . my son had also been sensitive to certain soaps and i am very particular about what he uses .
used the lavender dial bar soap and my body went haywire . i did not have an immediate reaction so it took a while for me to figure out after stressing over my detergent and lotions which all has not changed . the allergic reaction is the most intense experience ever . my reaction consisted of redness , bumps and welts . utterly painful . itchy . i have stopped immediately . saddened to see others on here have had the same reaction .
i actually looked up to see if other people are as annoyed by the curved shape of the gold bar soap as i am , and they are . please add me to the list of people who would much rather have the flat bar of soap back that you can actually use up before it breaks ! so annoying . just charge more instead of trying to fool consumers by carving out a hunk . . . we are smarter than you think .
i recently got my industrial pierced along with my second earlobes , and has been using the dial gold hand soap to clean it , as recommended by my piercer . the first few days were fine , regarding the pain from the piercing , i hadn’t noticed anything wrong because it was new . it’s been over a week now , and i have the worst rash on my ear . at first i thought that i hadn’t got all of the soap off of my ear , and that’s why it felt very dry and crusty , then as the days went on , the rash has started to spread . first to the rest of my earlobe , and now starting to spread onto my face . it is even starting to happen on my other ear now . i will not be using this soap anymore and will be switching to a saline solution . hopefully a doctor appointment isn’t needed to get rid of it .

the first pearl farms were started in 1956 at kuri bay by an american entrepreneur and a japanese grafting technician . paspaley opened their first pearl farm in 1962 , and another in 1970 in knocker bay , which became a roaring success . not only did paspaley become famous as producers of the finest south sea cultured pearls in the world , but their efforts at sustaining and nurturing the native wild oyster population kept these animals from extinction .

very sad about the diver , no doubt , but this story was sooo biased ! ! ! not a word about what happens in other companies , not safety or how much they offer the divers / shell . i have worked with paspaley and they do care about their workers and safety . its a huge operation , providing many jobs for many many families , so before everyone boycotts paspaley pearls , maybe better energy should be directed towards introducing better safety regulations on the dive boats rather then sink an australian icon .

but sadly for paspaley - represented by a contingent of third - and fourth - generation members of the family - there was no collective flourishing of cheque books or flashing of no - limit centurion credit cards from the gathered crowd that october night . six months later , those unique centrepieces of what was called the odyssey collection were still unsold , locked away in glass - and - walnut cabinets at the company ' s prestigious address , no 2 martin place , the century - old australasia bank building that paspaley spent millions restoring .
“at the time of tragedy , the paspaley pearling company did not have a written emergency procedure for the rescue and retrieval of an incapacitated diver from the water , and the crew on board the vessel had not practised any emergency drills in preparation for such an event .
the paspaley group is an australian family - owned and run company with a heritage of over 80 years and three generations . recognised as pioneers of the australian south sea pearling industry , today the company has a diverse portfolio ranging from pearling to retail , aviation to agriculture .
“it is extremely disappointing that four corners has chosen to raise unsubstantiated safety allegations at this sensitive stage which could be prejudicial to the ongoing investigations . for the record , safety has always been a high priority for paspaley which does not make compromises on safety across any of its operations .
the paspaley pearl , which is perhaps the most perfect pearl ever created by human intervention , gets its name from the company , paspaley pearl pty ltd . who were responsible for culturing the pearl inside the pearl oyster pinctada maxima , in one of their pearl farms off the coast of northern australia in the year 2002 . the exceptional south sea cultured pearl has a perfect spherical shape , the most valued shape for natural or cultured pearls , and has a silvery - white color with a soft pink overtone , with a satin - like luster characteristic of south sea pearls .
worksafe said at the time of the death , paspaley pearling company
did not have a written emergency procedure for the rescue and retrieval of an incapacitated diver from the water , and the crew on board the vessel had not practised any emergency drills in preparation for such an event
.
but it has not come without a cost . pearling in australia - still internationally acknowledged as the world leader for quality , if no longer for quantity - is an industry littered with broken dreams and bankrupt corporations . the paspaley group itself is struggling to keep its head above water : it lost about $ 4 million last year on top of a similar loss in 2011 . and last year , one of paspaley ' s workers joined the hundreds who have drowned or died of
the bends
or other causes since diving for pearls in australia began a century and a half ago .
company has a diverse portfolio ranging from pearling to retail , aviation to agriculture . the paspaley company was founded in 1935 with the collection of mother - of - pearl shells for the button trade . in the years that followed , cultivation of australian south sea pearls became the company’s primary focus .
as diving was one of the few viable industries in the area , it was natural that nicholas paspaley would learn this challenging trade . by 1932 , at the age of 18 , he was at the helm of his own pearling lugger , diving for shell that fulfilled most of the global demand for button making .
the world ' s first purpose - built fibreglass pearl diving vessel , mv paspaley pearl is built at nishi shipyard japan . the vessel arrives in broome to fish the 1974 season , before returning to darwin and fortunately surviving cyclone tracy . at 29 metres , she is the largest fibreglass hulled vessel in australia at that time .
at all times between 1990 and 2012 , new beach road was our treasured family home , where we entertained our friends , held our important celebrations and where we could accommodate family and friends who came to visit . this lifestyle and these events did not occur anywhere else in our lives ,
ms paspaley told the tribunal .
life out here is tough , particularly if you are one of the elite divers paspaley employs to catch their wild shell , towed along in teams of eight behind a mother ship , clinging to a lifeline of compressed air and stooping to scoop hundreds of oysters a day from the seabed . last year the company sailed into a blizzard of criticism in social media after an abc four corners investigation into the death of one of paspaley ' s divers , a 22 - year - old melbourne man named jarrod hampton , on his second day on the job . the program raised questions about the company ' s training , about whether there should have been a
rescue diver
on standby , and whether cost - cutting had played a part in his death . a number of experienced paspaley divers had resigned after the company cut the price it pays per shell from $ 4 . 50 to $ 3 . 50 , an effective pay cut of $ 20 , 000 a season for a good diver .
ms paspaley , also known for playing dr tessa korkidas on the abc show gp in the 1990s , gave evidence about where her valuable items were kept , where her family spent their christmases , where she celebrated her 60th birthday and where her bills were sent , in order to prove the sydney house was where she spent most of her time .
it said mr hampton was an experienced , competent and suitably qualified scuba diver but , prior to the departure of the vessel ‘paspaley ii’ from broome on 12 april 2012 , did not have any experience as a drift diver . however , mr hampton had passed a medical examination and successfully completed a pearl diving induction course in darwin in february 2012 .
to preserve wild shell stocks , the wa government initiates the pearl industry review quotas of pearl oyster fishing . the pearl producers association ( ppa ) is formed , and includes a pearl divers safety committee operating according to occupational health and safety ( oh & s ; ) guidelines . paspaley plays a leading role in this organisation from its inception until present day .
after migrating from greece and settling in cossack , western australia , nicholas paspaley sr . captains his own pearling lugger at the tender age of 18 . in 1935 , he finds an important natural pearl in the cossack area , the same year the western australian pearling fleet is destroyed by a major cyclone . the proceeds from this pearl form the start of a pearling dynasty .
the pearl also has gone down on record as one of the largest cultured pearls ever produced . thus a combination of desirable characteristics such as the perfect spherical shape , the color , luster and extraordinary size , has made the paspaley pearl one of the most famous cultured pearls in the world . the pearl is now part of the valuable collection of unique pearls maintained by the company .
kuri bay is established as a joint venture between the american and japanese partners , operating under the diamond policy that stipulates that there be a limited quota , that the pearl technique be kept secret , and that all pearls produced must be marketed in japan . in 1962 , paspaley opens a farm at knocker bay in the northern territory’s cobourg peninsula under a similar arrangement with arafura pearling company .
nick revolutionised the industry ,
says david norman , a sydney pearl trader who has worked for both paspaley and rival company kailis .
in the ' 80s when i was with kailis , we ' d look at paspaley with envy . nick was a genius at creating pearls that no one else could . they were making amazing amounts of money - one necklace brought $ 2 . 2 million at sotheby ' s . he brought down the same technicians from japan every year , he knew how to site the farms , the husbandry . i went on one of their [ seeding ] vessels once and it was amazing - like going to the rolex factory - all these technicians sitting there in sealed , air - conditioned rooms with not a speck of dust to be seen .
james is quick to acknowledge the trouble the industry - and the company - is in , though he won ' t confirm chatter that paspaley will only be taking up less than half of its allocated quota this year , perhaps seeding only 200 , 000 oysters . some of his boats have been put up for sale , and one of paspaley ' s huge motherships has been on the slips for two years .
you close down farm sites ,
he says .
you lay people off . you have redundancies . . . we ' ve had to refit some of our vessels to change the way we operate . we ' re not in a state where i ' d want to go out encouraging people to come and invest in our industry . we ' re line - ball .
so what does the future hold for paspaley and the pearl industry ?
we can continue now , as the industry is , indefinitely , but what you don ' t have is any capacity to deal with shocks [ like ] cyclones or ood [ oyster oedema disease ] . if the price went from where it is today and halved again , yeah , we ' d exit . we would have no choice .
but it wasn ' t just his technical innovation that built the paspaley fortune . in the 1980s , when the wa government , as a
temporary
measure to protect stocks , licensed pearl farms and restricted both the number of wild - caught oysters that could be taken and - more controversially - the number of hatchery - bred oysters that could be seeded , it delivered a monopoly to the existing players . there were just 17 licences issued in wa ( and a handful more in the nt ) and new entrants in the industry were banned - unless they could buy or lease quota from an existing farmer . over the years , using its huge commercial clout , paspaley entered into co - venture deals with most of its rivals in which it provided either the oysters , the seeding or the marketing . in almost every case , it finished buying out the competitor .
pearls being creations of nature can have flaws such as blemishes on their surface or imperfections within the pearl ' s nacre , referred to as
movement .
complexion is defined as the presence or absence of flaws on the surface of a pearl . pearls without any flaws are said to be of flawless complexion , such as the
paspaley pearl .
the subject of this webpage . pearls with a flawless complexion are the most valuable . complexion flaws may or may not interfere with a pearl ' s beauty . this depends on the quantity , depth and visibility of these flaws . using this as a criterion , paspaley pearls are further divided into four grades : - statement , fine , fashion and foundation , each one of which refers to a certain quality of the complexion . it is the combination of luster and complexion that determines the quality of a pearl .
fleeing the greek island of castellorizo during world war i , the paspaley family arrived in australia in 1919 in search of a new life . they decided to try their chances at their ship ' s first port of call , cossack on the indian ocean coast of western australia . in this remote part of the world , the paspaleys were among a handful of europeans living in the area with the traditional aboriginal inhabitants and asian pearl fishers .
we have splashed down near a remote and uninhabited speckle of land called the osborne islands , mid - way between perth and broome , on one of the company planes . not a flash executive jet but a 13 - seater grumman mallard seaplane decorated with the ubiquitous paspaley logo of a blue pearl - shell . with us has come a relief crew of working - holiday guys - some more filipinos , an estonian , an irishman and a couple of australians .
the effect of maintaining the status quo was , the witness testified , to
keep the small small and allow paspaley to pick them off and buy them
. as it turned out , the court threw out the charges and although a new trial was ordered on appeal , the wa director of public prosecutions announced in february that it would not proceed . the newly elected liberal government of colin barnett has been handed the hot potato of whether to deregulate the industry .
paspaley pearl pty . ltd . operates around 20 pearl farms which are scattered along 2 , 500 km of mostly uninhabited coastline , stretching from the cobourg peninsula to the northeast of darwin , in the northern territory , to dampier in western australia . most of the farms are situated in isolated bays that provide some protection from the seasonal cyclones , and most importantly contain pollutant - free pristine waters , that can sustain the sensitive pinctada maxima oysters , and encourage the growth of microscopic plankton on which the oysters thrive .
from our humble beginnings in the 1930s , originally as a natural pearling company , we have built our success through australian south sea pearl cultivation . with numerous pearl farms dotted along more than 2500 kilometres of the remote , pristine coastline of north - west australia , paspaley’s harvests represent the majority of australian south sea pearl production . for more than 50 years , we have produced cultured south sea pearls of exceptional quality and beauty through a respectful partnership with nature . driven by the ‘leave no footprint’ philosophy , we have long appreciated the

the diameter of the pearl is uniform right round , equal to 20 . 40 mm . if there is any variation in the diameter it is undoubtedly less than 2 % , and the roundness is greater than 98 % . such pearls having a variation in diameter of less than 2 % and a roundness between 98 % and 100 % are defined as perfectly round or spherical pearls . thus the paspaley pearl undoubtedly qualifies for the status of a perfectly spherical pearl . the perfect spherical shape of the pearl is attributed to the nacre being laid in exceptionally uniform layers around the nucleus of the cultured pearl .
some fascinating details emerged in a wa trial three years ago investigating the degree of control paspaley exercised over the industry - revealing , as well , the desperation of its competitors to get the rules changed . the case involved notorious former wa labor premier brian burke and one of his former ministers , julian grill . the wa supreme court was told that the pair , who were working as lobbyists , had been hired by a small pearl producer named kevin waldron - brown of nor ' west pearls to try to influence the - then labor government to relax pearling quotas to allow smaller companies to grow and compete .
the paspaley family headed by theodosis michael paspalis first migrated to western australia from kastellorizo , in greece , in the year 1919 , and settled in the port city of cossack , which was then an important pearling center in western australia , with a cosmopolitan population of europeans , asians and aborigines . pearling being the only viable industry in the area , theodosis made an investment in a pearl lugger , and took a keen interest in pearling activities . however , 5 years after his arrival in cossack , theodosis passed away , and his children michael , nicholas and mary continued to maintain an interest in pearling activities .
worksafe wa says it is still investigating the death but if it does come up with an unfavourable finding , it will not be the first time that paspaley has been accused of failing to keep its workers safe . in june last year , the company was fined $ 10 , 000 in the darwin magistrates court after pleading guilty to breaching workplace health and safety laws when a cook , brooke wells , broke an arm and suffered internal injuries falling off an unguarded gangplank . the company also has a long - running case before the courts involving a former employee who claims he was denied proper workers ' compensation after injuring his back opening oysters .
the other three members of the family who own a piece of pearl corporation are nick ' s sisters roslynne bracher , 68 , and marilynne paspaley , 61 , along with her son nicholas hanigan , 39 . roslynne doesn ' t talk to the media , either , i was told . however , i was granted a telephone audience with marilynne , a former actor best known for her role as dr tessa korkidas in the abc tv series , gp . she was keen to spruik the attractions of her pinctada resort in broome , and blame the government for the fact it is losing money . the decision to allow budget airlines to fly between perth and bali had siphoned off hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers who otherwise would consider travelling to the kimberley , she said .
western australia during this period was the center of the mother - of - pearl industry in the world , producing almost 80 % of the world ' s requirement of mother - of - pearls , used in the shell button industry . the family migrated from cossack northwards to port hedland and then to broome in northwestern australia , as the pearl - oyster beds in the previous locations were exhausted , and pearling was no more economical . nicholas paspalis was first introduced to the trade at the age of 14 , and in the year 1932 , when he was 18 years of age , was manning his own pearl lugger , diving for oyster shells . after arriving in broome , nicholas paspalis , set up the family business in the town and changed the family name to paspaley . broome became internationally renowned as the center of the mother - of - pearl production , and in 1925 , had 400 pearling luggers engaged in the industry , producing almost 80 % of the world ' s requirement of mother - of pearls .

the father of a pearl diver who died off broome last year has written to the west australian premier colin barnett asking why a coronial inquest has been delayed .
a coronial inquest has been delayed pending a decision from the state solicitors office on whether the company might be prosecuted under occupational health and safety laws .
jarrod ' s father tony hampton says the family is anxious over what appears to be a lack of action and has written to mr barnett a second time , in an attempt to speed up the process .
we desperately want a coronial inquest , we want the necessary people to be questioned to find out as much as we can about what happened on that day ,
he said .
i believe the premier is the only one who can speed the process up .

the australian pearling industry has come a long way since theodosis paspalis and his family fled greece during world war i and settled at cossack in the pilbara , then a thriving port and the centre of australia ' s pearling industry until it later moved to broome . after the pearl - shell industry collapsed in the 1950s , theodosis ' s son , nicholas , attempted to start a cultured pearl - farm , using japanese technology , but his attempts to grow pearls were largely unsuccessful , and it wasn ' t until theodosis ' s grandson , nicholas jnr , took over the business in 1984 that the company really hit the big time .

the collapse of the international pearl market is driving this destruction . andy müller , a swiss - born pearl trader based in the japanese
pearl capital
kobe who is also an author and an authority on the industry , has documented the huge increase in pearl production in recent years - particularly in china , which now produces an estimated 4000 tonnes of pearls a year , grown in freshwater mussels in flooded rice - paddies . these pearls , scorned by high - end retailers , can be polished , coated , irradiated and dyed to any colour and make up the necklaces on sale for as little as $ 200 at walmart in the us .
müller has also documented the boom in production of
australian - style
pearls , the so - called south sea pearl , in indonesia , where one producer , the nusantara pearl group , has about 4 million oysters under management - more than double the entire australian crop . in the decade to 2009 , says müller , global south sea pearl production increased five - fold , but the price per kilo of the once - prized pearls fell from $ us91 , 000 to $ us13 , 000 . since then , the situation has worsened .
