Definition Syrinx shell :
Syrinx aruanus, common name the Australian trumpet or false trumpet, is a species of extremely large sea snail measuring up to 91 cm long and weighing up to 18 kg. It is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae, and is the only species in the genus Syrinx.

This is the largest living snail (shelled gastropod) species in the world, and arguably the largest (heaviest) gastropod in the world. Although the shell itself is quite well known to shell collectors because of its extraordinary size, little is known about the ecology and behavior of the species, except for one study about its feeding habits.

This species occurs in the northern half of Australia and adjacent areas, including eastern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

These giant snails live on sandy bottoms in the intertidal zone and the sublittoral down to about 30 meters.

It has not been over fished and this snail is locally very common.

It is fished for food / consumption.

Definition Pinna Pen shell :

Pinna shell species are large saltwater clams sometimes known as pen shells. They are marine bivalve mollusks.

Pen pearl is a term used for pearls from the shell species Pinna. This species is found in the waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean and also in the Mediterranean. These shells produce both nacreous and non-nacreous pearls. The pearls often exhibit a dark grey to black body color with overtones of bright green, blue, purple, silver, and pink.

We buy natural pearls directly from the divers throughout the Indo Pacific region.

Found in the pristine tropical waters off the coast of the New Guinea.

Remarks : South Sea Pearls are among the rarest of all pearls that are available.

Since the dawn of civilization, pearls have been one of the most priced possessions of mankind. Like gold or jewels, they hold an irresistible allure for people as a symbol of rare beauty and wealth.

There were times when pearls were harvested one by one from wild oysters living under the sea. Today there are not many traditional divers that still search for natural pearls in this manner. Instead high-quality South Sea pearls are cultivated in farms in the pristine waters of the Indonesian archipelago.

This extremely rare South Sea pearl is an inspiration from nature!

The color is natural and does not have any enhancements.

This South Sea pearl is simply beautiful.

To touch this pearl is to touch the smoothness of silk.

This South Sea pearl is made by nature; nurtured by man, every individual pearl carries with it the adventure, a history and a story, unique only to pearls.
