A variety of pearl jewelry is offered at the farm. Exquisite pearl pendants and delicate earrings make perfect souvenirs. These sparkling pieces are ideal for visitors exploring Halong Bay.
Previously, pearls cultivated in Quang Ninh were exported to Japan as raw products. They returned to Vietnam under Japanese brands. Now, Ha Long pearl products have their own brand identity. In 2015, Ha Long Pearl Joint Stock Company’s products were recognized as OCOP (One Commune One Product) products of Ha Long City. Over the next two years, they achieved 4-star and 5-star ratings in the Provincial OCOP Product Evaluation and Ranking Competition. In 2020, three pearl varieties—Akoya, Tahiti, and Southsea Pearls—were acknowledged as national 5-star OCOP products. These pearls meet international quality standards, including Japan’s strict pearl criteria.
Akoya pearls measure between 3-9mm. Mature Martensi oysters take 24 months to secrete calcium and form pearls. After harvesting, oysters complete their life cycle. Pearls become jewelry. Meat is cooked into unique dishes, and shells turn into handicrafts. Even while alive, oysters contribute to the environment by filtering water and consuming plankton and seaweed.
Ha Long’s Tung Sau Pearl Farm benefits from an ideal farming environment. The application of modern science and technology enhances pearl quality. Experts note the high purity, thick nacre layers, and luxurious natural colors, including gold, lapis lazuli, cherry pink, and mercury gray. These pearls serve as premium tourism products in Quang Ninh. They cater to tourists seeking high-end jewelry souvenirs.
The ideal time to visit Tung Sau Pearl Village is from April to June, when the weather is pleasant, featuring light sunshine and cool breezes, making it suitable for travelers. It is advisable to avoid visiting from June to August, as this period marks the rainy and stormy season in Ha Long, which can hinder your experience at Tung Sau.
To reach the village, you must first go to Tuan Chau Port and purchase a ticket for Cruise Line 2. The travel time is approximately 3 hours, and it may take longer if you depart from Ha Long Port. Due to the limited routes available to the village, for added convenience, consider renting a private boat or opting for an overnight stay on the boat to enhance your experience.
The pearl farming process at Tung Sau Pearl Farm consists of four basic steps:
Expert cultivators extract sperm and eggs from natural or artificial to begin the breeding process. This careful selection ensures the highest quality offspring for pearl production.
Skilled farmers introduce specific microorganisms to nourish the young pearls. They place these developing pearls in specialized underwater cages, creating optimal growing conditions in the pristine waters.
Master craftsmen carefully create a small opening in each oyster’s tissue. With precision, they insert both a nucleus and seed, setting the stage for pearl formation.
Expert pearl farmers harvest treasures after two years of careful cultivation. They gently open each shell to reveal the pearls within. Skilled artisans then extract, sort, and polish these gems to perfection. The farm welcomes visitors to witness this fascinating process and even collect pearls themselves.
Visitors can also explore and purchase pearl products directly at the farm. Leading gemologists verify the authenticity and quality of each pearl. Their certification ensures that every piece meets the highest international standards. The village cultivates several high-quality pearl varieties, such as Martensi, Ma Thi, Tahiti, and South Sea pearls.
