Golden Pearls
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - DECEMBER 2009: Some of the best jewellery on offer, made from golden pearls, seen in the offices of Jewelmer International in Manila. Jacques Branellec is a director and co-founder of pearl production company Jewelmer International, set up in 1979, which has six pearl oyster farms in the Philippines. They specialize in production of golden pearls, and are the only company in the world able to produce them. Each pearl takes 5 years to grow, under very carefully controlled conditions, and can fetch huge sums of money when developed to perfection. (Photo by Patrick Aventurier/Getty Images Reportage)
