FAQs

Q: What is the difference between grafted and ungrafted clams?
Grafted clams already contain a pearl nucleus and are ready to mature pearls. Ungrafted clams require grafting before pearl development begins, offering full control over pearl type and quality.

Q: How long does it take to get a pearl from an ungrafted clam?
It typically takes 8–12 months after grafting to harvest a pearl, depending on water quality and care.

Q: Can ungrafted clams be kept in tanks?
Yes, they can be kept in controlled tanks with good aeration, regular feeding, and filtration.
