Shell craft is very popular here and carving Mother of Pearls Shells and even onto Black Pearls is very much in vogue. Check out this local artist: Tokerau Jim that we visted today.

Black Pearl Jewellery

Despite the fact there is sooo much black pearl jewellery here I decided to get some loose pearls (had to pay retail prices, choke!) so I can make something nice for myself.
I got these lovely pearls (9-10mm) from “Fisher’s Black Pearl Jewellery”.

Will post photos as they develop into a necklace but unfortunately currently my drill is broken. Fortunately Mum & Alice may be able to bring my spare drill when they visit. But for now a cool breeze is blowing in across the lagoon, the sun is shining and a book and a fresh slice of pawpaw await me on the deck…
