the world in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic . the 2nd son about this story is beyond the headline, the world in progress. the w talk costs glittering, diamonds sparkling gems and precious pounds essential for any crown. and the true gift from nature, so i'm going to most so give that a bit of a wash with water to a beauty. extracting these treasures of some means exportation and environmental damage. but there is another way to make jewelry. the
11:31 am
if we look after nature, it looks after us. and nature can also instruct us in its treasures if you know how it's done, you get a diamond at the end to the level. so how does ethical and environmentally friendly jewelry manufacturing? well the, the router is ice, cold, thoughtful, the nature conservationists. that's all in a day's work. i yeah. here's one and another one. here they are. they seem to like here. they literally nestled in the bed of the small stream, fresh water po, muscles, a delicate modem of nature. mm.
11:32 am
with the conservationists, are in eastern germany working to protect the mussels from extinction. their impulse until the eco system did not because of the home phone, which was a 155 in the rush water pro muscles have existed on this planet for 230000000 years and, and so they've seen a lot and it just exists here. it's one of the oldest b, c, as in the world today, often, i'm updating the fresh water pero muscles. i've seen the dinosaurs come and go use in buttons now it's us, humans who might be the ones to drive them into extinction. you can. yeah. you know, this is an aqua scope helps the researches have a clear view on the voice. so rebecca has used as a detective to locate the muscles that have been tagged with the time you micro chip that helps the scientists keep tabs on the most of the population which they monitor. so once a week. so kind of listen. this allows us to tell what kind of muscle it is without
11:33 am
having to remove it from the stream. that is, which would stress the muscle. but to make sure it's still alive, we do have to take them out once a year when the number to micro chips are attached to the show with dental cement. and there it is all the days correct. and it's still where we left. it also got some super perfect pause tells me john hope a few 1000 years ago. the streams here were full of muscles, job site. there are still people alive who remember that after the war in the muscle beds here were 3 layers lead. i felt when they looked at the bed of the stream, it looked totally black. that's how many muscles their worries and put on the poles that can be found in this pulse of eastern germany. but 1st documented in the 15 century, the huge mussel population attracted po fishes in large numbers. but only one shell
11:34 am
and every 2000 the muscles had the treasure nestled in sight. it's a news report from the 19 sixty's as a testament to that history. how do the eye of the law keeps watch if he's the fishing trip takes place under the supervision of the mayor. this pearl is set to be as valuable as the treasures are fixed from the south pacific and the waters around australia. when did gibson, i'm always tied in the pulse with suicide stood by kings and queens as a symbol of power and well the today the muscles themselves, all the treasure. a single muscle can filter more than 100 leaches of water a day. helping to keep the stream clean and healthy, but now dry, summer's, and intensive farming, or destroying the habitats these days. the streams are often voters by phone and
11:35 am
round at the meadows. so we will makes its way into the water and ends up as much. but the muscles can only strongly lose sped of gravel. that is not, it's a huge problem for young muscles. of course. there's the modem star of their habitat of oxygen. mia and the young muscles end up covered in mode and suffocate. speaking the young muscles dying, leaving only a few adults so few that hunting for poles would drive them to extinction. cabinets for guy who i mean, what you see here is kind of like a hospice. i just the population in the stream is aging. you can imagine them as all middle age to 50 and up without any young muscles at all company. that's our biggest concern right now and why we're breeding personal muscles so that we can replenish the strain with the young ones. it's the only way the conservationists can rescue the endangered species. the next batch of young muscles is ready to be moved into the street. the on the other
11:36 am
side of the well, the south pacific is hurting to poll, voice to this species isn't endangered. so cultivating polos, he is viable, and it can also be sustainable. there's a huge ways to form the need for stuff susceptible. so with thousands of voice to net, some groups that extend for coloma trips. marine biologist. justin hunter is an expert on these delicate ocean dwellers. he's been farming to speak. caesar thing tied up. i guess he to stand off for 20 years. how quick culture requires patience and a delicate touch. that's because every culture code begins with a grafting procedure that mimics what would normally be a natural process. we don't want to over stress them this. this operation, of course, has quite a bit of stress, but we try to handle this gently as we can. they are living animals. that's why,
11:37 am
you know, they're tapped with their quickly washed clean. they'll go through this process very fast and then be back into a recovery tank. and then taking back out to the see the, the pseudo don't down to is the most important member of the team. he carries out the crossing procedure on your study, which induces health formation by imitating a natural process. first, p extracts a tiny piece of mental tissue from it, don't waste that tissue has been implanted into the recipient royster, along with a tiny mother of co nucleus. it's a natural defense mechanism to use the will form, which is called a pills. sec, around a foreign body. over time the nucleus is covered with what is called an acre layer by layer creating a po, the punches client, you can know,
11:38 am
travels from germany to fiji every 3 or 4 years to buy a pound. to come to show you some of the fluids just started um, implanting your harvesting. if you input this, the trial here with the i'm up to the i have it's the oldest of, here's the oyster that's already been implanted with a nucleus and the mantle tissue give you the tissue will grow around the nucleus. and over 2 years covered with 2000 delicate layers of negro mother of pearl sheets . with any luck, the end result is a perfect part off of the yeah, it's, it's, it's not a short process at all. no 2 po cultivates is r as patient as justin hunter, many ways to form is an age of fact and the shell fish with whom kind of waste from chicken and take forming the over fed. oysters produce up to 60 poles off to the
11:39 am
harvest. they die, and this form of mass production is harmful to the environment. the in fiji, the always does all returned into the sea for at least 18 months off. today you'll see that many stay longer to allow time for the pose to grow. a single one always stuck, not $65.00. so now we're going to see the farm where the pros come from in paradise our work, the team and what they're working on. now our voice there's that won't be on to the other always. those will be returned to the volta unless the full harvesting in 2 years time. and then the pulse will be ready for your game as the newest jewelry collection, the
11:40 am
. so let's see what the mountain has in store for us flow while you remember how to get there. just like the oceans. mountains also home to many natural treasures concealed in the rocks. twin brothers get house and how this whole fox have spent every free minutes in these mount 10 since they were 12 looking for crystals. i'm precious gems today that professional crystal hunters the the central 9 in light and it's our passion. but it's also a kind of addiction. they look and wonder where you might find something like bains of white course crevasses or faults in the rock. we discovered a very interesting spot a few weeks ago and it looks really promising. who goes the whole fest collect up to $200.00 kilos of crystal every year. about 50 of those are made into jewelry.
11:41 am
there are many precious stones to be found in the elves, including emerald assistant governors. mining in the national park is highly regulated. only hammers and crew basel permits. it drills and explosives are banned . the site must be re natured, often mining and large of fines must be reports, it is not phoning the clean and what we do is very careful and respectful. we're not changing anything that we're not using any chemicals. and when we remove the crystals, we make sure we don't disturb anything. so are there. so here we are. some of the all the, all that they are going to work our way into that credit list. hooked them. yes. we're going to clear the spot and see what's down there. we filed it up with stones . how many of a piece of folks top estimates for the book can be dangerous? so one of them will have to venture down into the narrow crevice and inspect the
11:42 am
rock. they discovered traces of quotes here a few days ago, which is a promising sign. but they still don't know whether there are any valuable crystals to be found to the moment, not going in, i'll send the canister down to you. a sample of the roof will reveal more about the treasures that might be hidden here. the was the tool was the efforts, the one that comes on fine back. there's very, very fine rock crystal here. it's not that big yet, but it's a good indicator for larger crystals given that the cause of through causally,
11:43 am
to solace. mm hm. oh so it looks good. i would guess they're a bigger one to further down, but let's leave it over to a low since ain't good. say it's a promising starts. they'll stay here for a few days to recover some more of the precious crystals. the rock crystal nexus is our best seller, the don't my wife's truck. so we clean this one up a bit. and as you can see, its super high quality in going to the glittering with brilliant wind crystals basically spell isn't split. it's 15000000 years old dominion in your in both. we're the 1st to you and ever in cnn. no one's ever touched it before. applying to hancock this beautiful priscilla has been full, being underground for an a ton of tea. like the time and such an crown jewels and
11:44 am
now gets its moment to shine. in this, the bar a tree in switzerland. the process of forming diamonds is unlocked. foster slips divides, creates treasures that take many hundreds of millions of years to full natural name . doesn't the little go, these are all organic products that you've loved letters. don't care. horse hair, that's from the body, work up a formula e car always to couples. and it can all be processed into gratified when to displace this to coffee for all binding graph bodies. is the base materials for the world's most precious stones? it can be made from any single comic, even dried rose petals. the precise method is a trade secret. only a few have most of the many complex steps involved in the process. this is the selection, but it's the same thing that happens inside the years total. you need pressure and temperature in the right environment. and then once you know how it's done, the end result is a diamond. to deal on. both sides has been making synthetic diamonds for industry,
11:45 am
for decades. today, the quality of his diamonds is high enough to make jewelry, diamonds full natur needs under extreme heat and pressure in the interior. in the lab, this huge h b h t press which operates the pressure of about 60000 ball. and 1800 degrees celsius achieves the same effect in just a few weeks. most of the electricity he needs comes from solar power for jewelry design, the hegemonic them helped me on this and such. a gems are a perfect match for her company's philosophy of sustainability. the, the hello harold's, please hello, welcome. ready to see the diamond that's happy to be here tomorrow or something worse. okay, let's take the rough stone out of the cell. yeah. we'll open it and see what we get
11:46 am
. some of those holes called the goldsmith has the stone for a diamond ring or did not look at it cutting, polished, and add to it. right. as a 1000000000, cut out. good. yes, exactly. great towards this is a fetus have submission. this will probably not for me, this is definitely a great alternative to natural diamond emission with it because mining diamonds doesn't just remove the jammed this vicar shot, but all the overburden as well. and then there's the shipping distances. the top of the carbon footprint includes all the steps in the process, like water consumption, etc. also the environmental impact of synthetic lab, thrown diamonds, is still smaller box model. good thing, i'm just, i'm a split the that's a real time and i've grown in the lab one placement and the other is a naturally occurring diamond visually, physically and chemically. you can tell them apart, the image is total side the authenticity is certified by an independent gemstone
11:47 am
the power trees 3 weeks off to being causing published the diamond just finally annoyed. goldsmith hegemonic them helped man, set to finish diamond to create an ethical and sustainable piece of jewelry. synthetic diamond costs 30 to 40 percent less than the natural one. the mom does growing particularly among younger customers. how many society? who's gone recycled? 18, carried yellow gold? emma synthetic lab grown diamond. it completely eliminates child labor as well as mining, so there's no harm done to the environment. and the end result is a totally sustainable product is put gemstones made by human hands, roles of the nature of its own kind of miracles. the habitats of the fresh rules of hell muscle is under threats to few muscle
11:48 am
lobbies, the vines in across the border projects. most guaranteed in mind is breeding to protect animals and food that he needs round trout. without these fish, they would be no muscle. when a brown trout swims by in the law of the cling to the gills of the fish, the lobby growed, the protect it over the winter ones, the large enough, the young muscles drove past the hose skills and on the gravel bed. those spend about 6 years 30 here until the for the group ones. this actually mitchell, the cycle begins again. the if i forget is the child scouts, the trunk isn't really keen on being the host. you can almost imagine them complaining about. it gets annoying for these fish because the muscle takes oxygen and a thoughtful, it's a parasite, nato son. part of the symbiosis works, even though it's just once in a lifetime, because the following year the trial will have developed
11:49 am
a resistance to the muscle which is for assistance at the breeding station dom, your losing a nice color, blah check on the law of the nestled into trout skills yeah . what we're doing now is opening the gill covering a little, once it's exposed and we can see muscle larvae clamps to the gills. then we can monitor what developmental state directory in beginning with the larvae to a juvenile muscle in. so, you know, as soon as the young muscles drove out of the gills, don, you and how living costs is the booster from the fish tank through. sift several times to retrieve them. you just look like dirty water, but the treasure lies hidden in it. shops, there are hundreds of juvenile muscles in the said, the only emotion. yes. we're just going to give them
11:50 am
a rinsing. that's got to then examine them under the microscope and i'm thinking now let me just pull the futures. how's it looking, daniel? yeah, it looks really good around 350. today's harvest, a ticket that i 106 super active vigorous. this could be a good year in the natural environments, the mussels would now be burrowing into the gravel in the labs of protected for a while longer and the special punch costs and then it's time to leave the labs. the punch cards means the conservationist can check on the young muscles at any time and move them if need be. part of the project entails figuring out what is the optimal environment for the animals to thrive, the action now the location,
11:51 am
because blah checks on the batch of muscles. they put out 1st. the 1st shot looks good. the india there 5 years old. now they're in their 6th year and beginning of this year they could be transferred to the open water really the winter survival rate this year was 100 percent. yeah. so but the, the foster parents have done a good job the disease. no, it's a huge success ation. of course, it's extremely satisfying to accompany them over 5 winters and to have it proved that the system works from the accel to the juvenile muscle. and yet this is the, the work we've put in is buried fruit. just come off and now we'll be getting the 1st batch back into the stream, which is great to week to begin to. but the most important goal is ensuring the
11:52 am
survival of the species. even if that will never again be millions of fresh rules and muscles producing pounds for jewelry in the austrian alps, gal hops and how the sofa assessing outside of the the crystal, how much does have a steep climb. the full bill reached the crevice where they hope to find a rich seam of rock crystal boots. okay. sometimes you go for days even weeks where all you take home are a few little slivers but that's when you tell yourself good. so i found a little sliver today that's good to you don't always go home with the full backpack to meet phone will 6 in the hosting. will they find logic crystals then yesterday get high school fast squeezes himself down into the narrow cavity again the, his 11 year old son slowly and joins his father and the premise,
11:53 am
the shovel that looks good. morning i've got a small one to send up a really nice one. do you have it was it is outside. got it looks good. so let's have a look. oh wow. you get to see the light of day we'll talk at least it looks good. oh yeah, yes, it's a beauty the true value won't be revealed until the crystal has been cleaned. the clearer says, the holy at the price every hole they make in the rock has to be close back up and secured. usually with largest stones, renae during the site is as much a pulse of the work as extracting the crystals. god, is there anything else coming out? are we done for today? yes. okay, hang on. we'll turn it over and then we'll lift it out. okay. it's
11:54 am
a really beautiful collection, it looks perfect. look like that, showed up on those show a dancing. do you see which one varies hard? and this could be a once in a decade. the find out is from dying on the mineral collectors comp sell the root crystals to june the re, manufacturers, or to trade says until the fines been properly documented, the, the total you get the 40 by 30 and yes, weighs a bit more than 20 q us to be so may have it's one should be about right to it's most annoying so long. so debbie advice and then that'll probably bring in a 1000 bureaus. so if you have maybe even a bit more or less to go up, be sent a 1000 bureaus. the brothers sell the precious rock crystals in the store. down in the valley. the state gets 10 percent of any sales. the national park strict mining regulations maintenance thursday as can purchase a beautiful crystal here without penetrating the mountain.
11:55 am
the fashion saffo salvo the faust under was a foam, extends across the bay jewelry manufacturing. yes, good night is taking a look at justin homes as power of cultivation program. it's harvest time, the toys to the cleans of parasites before being brought to show, even in ancient times, poles like these were famous and particularly prized. it says that crow patches earrings were made using poles from this muscle species to make it for me, it's important to see that they're produced in an environmentally friendly way. harmony with nature. as far as i'm concerned, this is the only sustainable jewel there is in somebody's presence. steve. how foaming has the ocean to thank for its treasures. the delicate creatures need an
11:56 am
intact marine environment to thrive. bucks, they also play a role and maintaining it. each individual oyster can filter more than a 100 liters of water every day. much like to sewage treatment plant. what the hell always does thrive. the ecosystem is in balance, and biodiversity reach the benefits. this is a natural habitats. life, especially the younger stages of fish, you know crabs, you get c 2 companies in here. it's called think of system service says, which is the technical term for what royce deserve. and when their non long selective features, which means they're taking water, they're removing any kind of analogy, which is there for dominant street. so they're physically and chemically cleaning this, this very, every day. justin hum to harvest around $25000.00 pounds every year. it's
11:57 am
a business of given take and the marine ecosystem of solve solve nature and humans exist in harmony. if we look after nature, it looks after us and it's also a very important part of the story of pearls and what we bring to luxury. because there's simply no other product out there that gives back more to the environment. i love what i do. i love what i represent. i love the fact that i'm in the environment that i loved been treasure and that's and that's passion and follow your heart. the treasures of sahu several, they all recovered. it's taken 2 years for upheld to grow inside this always done without combing the delicate creature, the valuable jewel is removed. the, the pills are worth between $50.00 and $400.00. the bigger they all,
11:58 am
the higher the price. that's a nice size. justin for 10 millimeter, which is quite rare. by the love these colors here. talk to scale of one of the height was worth traveling halfway around the world because it's a privilege to buy these pearl and i put down there's no one has had to suffer to produce these pearls because and they're completely natural and very beautiful. yeah. so the window shows as a cool and sustainable jewelry. another gift from nature, given when it's treated with patients and catch the
