COUTURE" PEARLS BY FARMINa,

The British commercial attache az
Yokohama reports that considerable
export business is done with Europe
and America in Japanese Couture"
pearls, which, although in appear
ance and nature the same as the nat
ural oyster pearl, are obtained from
oysters by special process at the
Mikimoto pearl culture farm in the
Bay of Ago, a small bay inside the
Gulf of Use. The culture" pearl
has to be cut off from the shell,
whereas the natural pearl is found
free in the oyster; consequently in
the case of the former one part Of
the pearl is inferior in appearance
and this accounts for the large differ
ence in value between natural and
Culture" pearls.
