We were fortunate to visit on a day when we were the only ones there (thanks for something COVID). Summer is an American ex-pat who has lived in Raiatea for 20 years. She is very passionate about the pearl farming business. Gave us a great demonstration on grafting and pearl production. To those who don't think the pricing was good, you have to understand pearl grading to understand pricing, and I dare anyone who is not an expert in peals to do their own grading. It would be like you trying to grade your own diamonds. Yes, you can find cheaper jewelry in markets, but the quality of the pearls is where the difference in price is. We were able to buy a pair of very nice earrings with a unique color for what we felt was a very reasonable price. We compared what we bought with lots of other pearls during our trip and we definitely got a good deal. The snorkeling around the farm is the best we saw anywhere in French Polynesia.
