☆ The pearl industry in Kobe truly began in the early Showa era, after the invention of perfectly round pearls and the increase in pearl farms throughout the country. At that time, most of Japan's pearls were for export. Due to its international trade port and proximity to pearl farms in Mie and Shikoku, the processing and distribution of pearls flourished, mainly in Kitano-cho, Chuo-ku. We also operate in Kitano and are offering these products with the cooperation of a pearl wholesaler. Color: White Luster: Very good Rare baby pearl single-hole pair.
