Gemological Institute of America (GIA) reports for cultured pearls containing the bead nuclei embedded with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags will now receive a report comment with the unique RFID reference number of the pearl, advancing tracing capability and source transparency.<\/p>\n<p>Fukui Shell Nucleus Factory recently submitted a batch of bead-cultured akoya, South Sea, and Tahitian pearls to GIA, each embedded with a unique RFID chip using patented pearl authentication technology. After a decade of development, Fukui Shell Nucleus Factory is expanding the tracking technology to major pearl producers from French Polynesia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Japan and China.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Moses, GIA Executive Vice President and Chief Laboratory and Research Officer, said, \u201cAs sustainability becomes increasingly important to consumers, this technology can play a vital role in telling the complete story of these gems. The integration of RFID details with GIA Cultured Pearl Reports represents a significant step forward in efforts to enhance traceability and transparency in the pearl industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fukui Shell Nucleus Factory technology, Metakaku<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, embeds a wireless RFID digital tag into the pearl\u2019s nucleus so its origin and movement along the supply chain can easily be tracked. Adding the reference tracking number, detected by an RFID reader during GIA\u2019s examination of the pearl, to the GIA Cultured Pearl Classification Reports uniquely identifies each pearl, matching it with its quality attributes based on the GIA 7 Pearl Value Factors.<\/p>\n<p>While tracing pearls from farm to market remains challenging, sustainability is an increasingly important topic. When the pearl has been sustainably cultured and successfully traced, it tells an incredible story reflecting the journey of the oysters and mussels from which they are harvested.<\/p>\n<p>David Wong, Innovator of Metakaku<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, added, \u201cStories have the power to create meaningful connections with pearls, inspiring us to seek deeper understanding and build stronger bonds with these precious gems. Through Metakaku<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, we hope to provide value and new perspectives that encourage exploration and inspire greater opportunities for every single pearl that is harvested.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology developed by Hong Kong-based Fukui Shell Nucleus Factory creates opportunities for tracing cultured pearls through the supply chain.
