A labour of love, ‘Pearls of Bahrain’ is a grand ode to the legacy of the Kingdom’s pearling past. The culturally rich coffee table book documents the island’s over 2000 years old pearling industry, which made it an international centre for its world renowned inventory of brilliant pearls, supplying more than 80% of the global markets. Celebrating the life and times of the pearl divers, their sailing stories, the transformation of these precious cultural gems, from pluck to polish by the jewellers who crafted them into works of art, the book elegantly captures this glorious journey in abundant photographs and QR activated songs. This collector’s must have, is a testament to Bahrain’s enduring legacy, as an international centre of the pearling industry.
