To be honest I wasn't thrilled about going here because it wasn't even mentioned in our tour itinerary. I didn't even think I'd like manmade pearls as much as I love real ones. I can now say I'm very happy we went here and I'm in love with their pearls.
You can watch them making pearls inside the factory which is pretty cool. It was quite interesting. Inside the store there are two levels with rows and rows of things made of their pearls. They had necklaces, rings, sunglasses, handbags, picture frames, earrings, bracelets, hats and so much more I can't remember them all. Everything is priced decently. It's not outrageous but definitely not cheap.
One of the items I bought was a pair of sunglasses and they're gorgeous! They have a pearl on each side and very good quality.
Downstairs they have a snack area and large bathroom. Beware in the women's bathroom though...there is a step outside of each stall and if you're not paying attention you could fall, not that it happened to me or anything.
Great pearl factory worthy of a visit if you're in the area! read more
