DANAT’s Pearl Testing Exhibit At Expo 2020 Sees Strong Visitor Turnout

A large number of visitors attended the Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones (DANAT) exhibition at the Kingdom of Bahrain Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, where they were able to get a first-hand look at Bahrain’s rich pearling tradition. 

The Bahrain Pavilion and the DANAT exhibition attracted more than 100,000 visitors from across the world in October, many of whom were interested in learning about the scientific methods used by gemmological laboratories to detect pearls and other precious stones. 

DANAT’s offerings comprised a variety of experiences, including the ability to distinguish between natural pearls and cultured pearls. It also demonstrated state-of-the-art technology and procedures used for pearl testing, including high-grade laboratory X-ray microradiography and X-ray fluorescence equipment.

Visitors brought in pearl jewellery and were ecstatic to see it evaluated and learn the results first-hand. “The huge number of visitors in the first weeks of DANAT’s presence at Expo 2020 Dubai demonstrates the public’s significant interest in pearls,” stated DANAT Chief Executive Officer, Noora Jamsheer.  DANAT is exhibiting at Expo 2020 Dubai in the Kingdom of Bahrain Pavilion, Opportunity District, from 1st October to 30th November, 2021.
