Introduced in 2023, Rainbow Gold South Sea pearls display mesmerising shades of red, pink and green.

Business should be solid, especially from Western markets as they prepare for heightened demand in the upcoming Christmas season,” the melee specialist remarked. BHC Diamonds aims to touch base with regular clients and new potential customers from its main markets of Asia, Europe and the US. It is likewise keen to explore business opportunities with buyers from the Middle East and Australia at JGW 2024.

Offices in Bangkok and New York service international clients. M White South Sea, meanwhile, was unveiled early this year as Myanmar’s first top-quality white South Sea pearl. The country is known for producing predominantly golden South Sea pearls. According to Rio Pearl, strong demand for these products testifies to buyers’ preference for innovative products that stand out in the market. “Rainbow Gold is considered a premium pearl and is favoured in various countries. M White South Sea pearls are preferred by customers seeking an exquisite and dedicated lustre,” said the company. Rio Pearl is not resting on its laurels though. Its research and development efforts continue, currently with the goal to upgrade the quality and appearance of these pearls as well as identifying methods to bolster production at its farms in Myanmar.
