Hi, first post here, 30+ year knife maker also looking for sources for some mother of pearl scales for custom folders. Has anyone ever tried this place in Australia for their pearl? Seems okay on the website but wondering if anyone has tried them. Seems harder and harder these days to find good pearl sources Thanks for any feedback.
 
Not sure about a place in Australia, but I know a few makers order from Culpepper & Co.
 
I know it's not what you asked for........but Pop's sells something called

FAULK-RITE​

They have pearl, opal, etc. synthetic versions. Not cheap pricing.
On the videos I've seen it looks cool.
I might be a Guinee pig here, cause I'd like to see if it's any good. Wish I heard more about it?
 
Australia has the biggest pearl farms on the globe.....Pearls and mother of pearl..
Company name is South Sea pearls... At one time most of the buttons used were mother of pearl and came from there....... Interesting history.. Not sure if they sell it small scale though!!
Good luck
