The Pearlfarm
Near the fishing village of Pemuteran is the Atlas pearl farm. Visitors can do a tour and learn about the oyster-breeding program, the cultivation cycle and see a demonstration of pearl seeding and harvesting. Along the Northern shores of Bali, the natural environment has all the properties necessary for the culture of some of the best quality south sea pearls in the world.
Visiting the pearl farm gives the unique opportunity to see and understand the whole process from the human intervention on the oyster, to the birth of the pearl and all various stages until it is finally extracted from the shell and made into a fine piece of jewellery. Upstairs, the showroom displays some of the most stunning pearls cultured in Bali’s waters. South sea pearls from Indonesia have acquired a sound reputation and they are valued and exported everywhere in the world.
The staff on the pearl farm is always ready to teach interested visitors. In Indonesia, pearls come in three different shades: golden, silver or white and Atlas is renowned for its silver pearls with hints of blue and a lustrous finish of finest quality.
