Description
Faten Mattar, owner of the family-run Mattar jewellery shop in the Bahraini capital Manama, show a natural pearl necklace. While rare elsewhere, natural pearls are the only variety produced in the Gulf kingdom, which is fiercely proud of its pearling tradition. "One of our biggest challenges in a pearl industry or a pearl business is to create necklaces.. it could take up four to five years to complete a normal strand," says Mattar. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
