...Pearls are classified to their color, size, shape and lustre.....unfortunately - there are no more pearl diving here in Bahrain as it ones was ....


Bahrain had some of the purest and finest pearls you could find due to the oysterbed locations close to the underwater - sweet water springs...the most excellent pearls was the "Jiwan".....Bahrain in Arabic means Two Seas and Bahrain has the first sea surrounding the island and the second is a sea of groundwater...


Of course there are/were other pearl classifications as well - the Yaka and Qolo which followed after the Jiwan......
