As we dream of turquoise lagoons, of limpid ocean floors where multi-coloured fish brush against you, this film transports you to the South Pacific, where man and nature collaborate closely to give birth to a fascinating gem : the pearl.

Gifted with great dexterity men graft nuclei into mother-of-pearl. After patiently tending to them for two years, the perliculturists retrieve a pearl from the creature’s flesh.

This wondrous animal-mineral creation takes us to a fascinating underwater world, at times infested with sharks.

This film will take you to the impenetrable and inscrutable world of perliculturists. You will fly in private planes, the very same ones which transport the pearls extracted over several days in atolls lost in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

You will see the sorting of pearls, by size, by quality, by colour, before they are auctioned all over the world.

For you La Maison Chanel will open the doors to its history and its contemporary pearl creations.
