Hi Jan. I’m afraid we have to do it the hard way. Do a screenshot of the piece you like, email it to me (without commitment), and I will get you prices for the piece separately from shipping and I can add them up for you also. Just as an example, the bracelet I was so fascinated with is 2,000 pesos
i once watched a program on pearls, the pearl is formed when a small stone or object gets stuck in the oyster the oyster builds a protection around that object hence it becomes a pearl takes years obviously
Nice video🙂
For myself personally I am not into wearing pearls and I don’t know anyone who does either, they do look lovely though, and would make a great gift👍🙂
It would be great if the family can setup something like a Etsy shop. Then they never have to leave the family for such a long time to settle their work.✌️❤️🙏🙏🇺🇸
Not believe these are real pearls lying in shack like this. I live next to a pearl farm here. Only one little pearl selling over 1000 euros. These are not real pearls. If these were real pearls all these you need to put in a vault not in a shack in a slum.
Derrick, I love your trusting nature and I see your integrity as well. Pearls are difficult to authenticate, imo. I’e had some beautiful black pearls that I took to a couple of pawn shops and they wouldn’t take them for that reason. HOWEVER the silver, THAT can be easily identified with acid kits. When I find pearls in storage units, or wherever, I only get paid the value of the gold clasps, or silver. I’ve questioned why would an expensive metal clasp be put on a fake/cheap pearls? Because that’s what an “uneducated” person would believe, then pay 10, 50+x the value of the clasp. Just be careful of this kind of stuff. Love and LIGHT to ALL💖💖✨✨🌍🌍🌎🌎🌏🌏
Derek, 100 % fake. All from China! I’m in the business.
The black pearls are dyed fresh water pearls. The shell has many potential pearls because they are seeded by a process.
P.S. I’m from your neck of the woods, San Gabriel.
The pearls in this video are real; however, they are cultured freshwater pearls originating from China. They have some value, but nowhere near the value of authentic saltwater pearls. The Badjao will market these pearls as their indigenous product and will often claim they originated from somewhere in the Sulu region, but they are actually purchased from Chinese wholesalers in the Philippines.
While their sales pitch can be somewhat deceiving, the pearls are decent for what they sell them for, and when purchased, the profits do go to a family that needs the money. I would encourage people who might encounter a Badjao pearl vendor on the street to purchase a pair of earrings or a necklace if for no other reason than to help them and their family out. The initial price they ask can be negotiated, and you can usually buy an item for half or even less than the original price they quote you.
This is true, and if you do this with the pearls being sold by the Badjao, they will feel rough and gritty on your teeth which lets you know they are indeed real. However, the pearls the Badjao sell, while real, are cultured freshwater pearls imported from China and do not originate from the Philippines.
Derek. I Google this.
Real pearls can withstand exposure to an open flame and will remain shiny and intact. Fake pearls, which are often made of plastic, will melt or burn and may have an odor.
Pearls can also be damaged by:
Heat: Intense heat can damage the organic structure that gives pearls their color and luster.
Chemicals: Chemicals in cosmetics, sun block, perfume, and hairspray can dull pearls’ luster.
Acids: Acids like fruit juice and vinegar can break down the calcium in pearls.
Pollution: Pollution can damage pearls.
Chlorine: Chlorine and other chemicals in swimming pools can damage pearls.
To care for pearls, you can:
Wipe pearls immediately if they come into contact with acids.
Avoid wearing pearls in saunas or swimming pools.
Avoid using detergents, household cleaners, commercial jewelry cleaners, or tarnish removers on pearls.
Store pearl cleaning brushes in a place where they won’t get dusty or soiled.

Hi Derek and your lovely lady, have you entered into the wilderness to see how the artisan copper ore miners produce the smelted gold AU from it? I had my own export company out of Cebu many yrs ago, next year I am back, off to do some open cast mining and smelting, small scale of course.
Very pretty ! Pearls…its a jungle ! Many different kinds of pearls and coralls. From very cheap ones to crazy expensive ! Was working in a jewellery shop when I was young. One lady loved pearls and knew all about it !

Supplies of pearl here are enormous, if you’re a pearl expert you can come and check it out. 😁
I’d say the dogs eat your arm if u try to steal
@Q Adventures The bracelet definitely is very beautiful looking Derek, but is abit pricey unfortunately.
Very well done though.
It’s all good. No harm, no foul

Freshwater pearls are very expensive usa
That makes a lot of sense. I am naive
@@roselee4445 A necklace similar to the ones being sold by the Badjao would sell for between $25 to $50 in the US.
@@JosephZanetti well I can’t see them well. But a viewer said the freshwater and cheap. Some freshwater pearl necklace here around 250 for small
Look at those 2 story mansions
Very interesting .
Btw , ive slways been told rub the pearl against your teeth. If feels rough. Real.
Smooth fake
