glittering, diamonds, sparkling gems and precious pounds essential for any crown, a 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 if we look after nature, it looks after us. and nature can also instruct us in its treasures. remember, if you know how it's done, you get a diamond at the end to the levels. so how does ethical and environmentally friendly jewelry manufacturing? well the,
11:17 pm
the router is ice, cold, thoughtful, the nature conservationists. that's all in a day's work. yeah, yeah. so here's one and another one. here they are. they seem to like here. they literally nestled in the bed. is this small stream? fresh water po, muscles, a delicate muslim of nature. the . the conservationists are an eastern germany working to protect the mussels from extinction, their impulse and for the eco system, but 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 freshwater pero muscles. i've seen the dinosaurs come and go
11:18 pm
keys in buttons. now it's us. humans who might be the ones to drive them into extinction you can. yes, you know, this is an aqua scope helps the researches have a clear view on the volta rebecca huss uses a detective to locate the muscles that has been tagged with the time you micro chip that helps the scientists keep tabs on the muscle population, which they monitor, so once a week so kind of listen. this allows us to tell what kind of muscle it is without 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
11:19 pm
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 and the muscle bends. here were 3 layers lead. when they looked at the bed of the stream, it looked totally black. that's how many muscles there were 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 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 from occupied in the pulse with
11:20 pm
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 round at the meadows. so we will makes its way into the water and ends off as much . but the muscles community strongly the lu, sped of gravel or that's not. it's a huge problem for young muscles. of course. there's the modem to start 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
11:21 pm
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 side of the well, the south pacific is heading to help voice to this species isn't endangered. so cultivating polls, he is viable and it can also be sustainable. there's a huge choice to follow the need for stuff as of the goal. so with thousands of voice to net, some groups that extend for collections. marine biologist, justin hunter is an expert on these delicate ocean dwellers. he's been following
11:22 pm
the species pink tied of my coffee to fit off for 20 years. how quick culture requires patience and a delicate touch. that's because every culture code begins with a growth thing for us to just that mimics what would normally be a natural process. we don't want to over stress them this. this operation, of course, is quite a bit of stress, but we try to handle this gently as we can. they are living animals. that's why, 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 take it back out to the see the, the pseudo delgano 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,
11:23 pm
don't waste. that tissue has been implanted into the recipient. royster, along with a tiny mother of co nucleus, is a natural defense mechanism. the waste of 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, travels from germany to fiji every 3 or 4 years to buy a pound. to show you some of the fluids just started um, implanting your harvesting. if you input this, the trial here with the i'm not to the 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
11:24 pm
and over 2 years covered with 2000 delicate layers of negro mother of pearl with any luck, the end result is a perfect part off of the 6. it's yeah, it's, it's, it's not a short process at all. but no to po cultivates as are as patient as justin hunter. many ways to farmers in asia from the shelf fish with organic waste from chicken intake farming the over fed. oysters produce up to 60 poles off to the harvest. they die. and this form of mass production is harmful to the environment. the in c g. the always does all returned into the sea for at least 18 months of today. you'll see that many stay longer to allow time for the pose to grow. a single one always stuck, not $65.00, but so far. so now we're going to see the farm where the pearl is coming from in paradise. our work,
11:25 pm
the team and what they're working on. now our voice there's that won't be on to the other. oysters will be returned to the volta unless the full harvesting in 2 years time. and then the pulse will be ready for your good and us newest jewelry collection. the . 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, gaps and hunters full fox have spent every free minutes in these mountains since they were 12 looking for crystals and precious gems. today that professional crystal hunters,
11:26 pm
the east central named light and it's our past sion 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 fuzz collect up to $200.00 kilos of crystal every year. about 50 of those are made into jewelry. there are many precious stones to be found in the elves, including emerald. i'm a cistern gunners mining and the national park is highly regulated. only hammers and crew basel permits, it drills and explosives are banned. the sites must be re natured, often mining and large of fines must be reports, it is not showing in the reading and what we do is very careful and respectful. we're not
11:27 pm
changing anything now, right? 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. it's some of the top. and those are going to work our way into that credit list of them is we're going to clear this spot and see what's down there. we filed it up with stones. how many books up estimates for the book can be dangerous? so one of them will have to venture down into the narrow crevice and inspect the 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. here. is the
11:28 pm
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, the guns gun, 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 the cause of through causally, 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. they're rock crystal nexus is our best seller the don't allow us to have. so we clean this one up a bit. and as you can see,
11:29 pm
it's super high quality in one to the glittering and brilliant wind crystals basically spell isn't split. so it's 15000000 years old and we don't enjoy it in both. we're the 1st to you as to ever and cnn. no one's ever touched it before this beautiful trip. so it has been full ming underground for an a ton of tea, like the diamond set in crown jewels, and now gets its moment to shine in this is the bar a tree in switzerland. the process of forming diamonds is unlocked, foster script spite creates treasures that take many hundreds of millions of years to full natur name doesn't. now live olga, 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 was to couples, and it can all be processed into gratified when to displace these 2 coffee for all
11:30 pm
binding graph all uses the base material for the world's most precious stones. it can be made from any single panic, 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 just like the same thing that happens inside the years total. you need pressure and temperature in the right environment. it's open once you know how it's done, the end result is a diamond to deal impulse. vide has been making synthetic diamonds for industry, 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 to 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,
11:31 pm
the full jewelry design, the hegemonic helped him on this in such a gems, or a perfect match for her accompanies philosophy of sustainability. the, the hello harold's, please hello, welcome. ready to see the diamond that's happy to be here. most of the invoice. ok . let's take the rough stone out of the cell on the memo. we'll open it and see what we get. some of this whole is called the goldsmith has ordered a stone for a diamond ring. one did not look at it, cut and polished in antwerp, right. as a 1000000000 cut out. good. yes, exactly. great tours. this is a few decides and missed 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 that talk,
11:32 pm
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 still 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 size the authenticity is certified by an independent gemstone the power trees. 3 weeks off to being cousin published the diamond just finally annoyed. goldsmith higginbotham helped my steps 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. have medicine. who's gone? recycled?
11:33 pm
18. carrots, yellow gold. emma synthetic lab. grown diamonds, 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. gemstones made by human hands rather than nature, its own kind of miracles. the habitats of the fresh rules of hell muscle is under threats to few muscle lobbies survive in across the border projects. most guaranteed in mind is breeding to protect animals and food that he needs round trout. without these fish, there would be no muscle. when a brown trout swims by in the lobby, cling to the gills of the fish, the lobby, grow 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
11:34 pm
about 6 years very here, until the for the group ones. this actually mature. the cycle begins again the box. we're going to use the traffic off 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 for so it's a parasite dog on some part of it. how about the symbiosis works, even though it's just once in a lifetime, because the following year, the trial will have developed a resistance to the muscle, which is for assistance at the breeding station dom, you losing a new 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 clamped to the gills. then we can monitor what developmental state directory and beginning with the larvae to
11:35 pm
a juvenile muscle in. so, you know, as soon as the young muscles drop out of the gills down here and how living costs is the booster from the fish tank through sieve several times to retrieve them. you just look like dirty water, but the treasure lies hidden in at the shops. there are hundreds of juvenile muscles in the city. yes, we're just going to give them a rinsing. that's got to then examine them under the microscope and i'm thinking now let me just pull the visuals. how's it looking, daniel? yeah, it looks really good. around 300. really, today's harvest to the super active vigorous. this could be a good year. in the natural environments, the muscles would now be burrowing into the gravel in the labs of protected for
11:36 pm
a while longer and the special punch costs and then it's time to leave the lapse. 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, because blah checks on the batch of muscles they put out 1st. the 1st set 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.
11:37 pm
so but the, the foster parents have done a good job. the isn't the reason. 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. so, but the most important goal is ensuring the 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 honda sofa, all 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
11:38 pm
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. let me phone will 6 in the hosting. will they find logic crystals then yesterday? get hatch full fast, squeezes himself down into the narrow cavity again, the 11 year old son slowly and joins his father in the crevice. 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? well, targets least it looks good. oh yeah, yes. it's a beauty the true value won't be revealed until the crystal has been cleaned.
11:39 pm
the clearer says, the higher 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. not of god. is there anything else coming out? are we done for today? no. yes. okay, hang on. we'll turn it over and then we'll lift it out. okay. it's a really beautiful collection. it looks perfect. look like that showed up on specifics. those show a dancing. do you see a tomb varies hog. this could be a once in a decade to find out his food. i found the mineral collectors comp, sell the root crystals to jewelry manufacturers or to trade says until the fines been properly documented the to put on
11:40 pm
get the 40 by 30 and yes. weighs a bit more than 20 q us to be some may of it's fine should be about right. it's most annoying so long. so debbie advice and then that will probably bring in a 1000 bureau. 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. the fashion saffel salvo the faust under was a foam, extends across the bay jewelry manufacturing. yeah. okay. not as taking a look at justin homes as po cultivation program. it's harvest time the toys to the cleans of parasites before being brought to show, even in ancient times,
11:41 pm
poles like these were famous and particularly prized. it said that c o contra z rings were made using poles from dish to 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 intact marine environment to thrive bumps. they also play a role and maintaining it, each individual moist i can filter more than a 100 liters of water every day. much like to sewage treatment plant withheld 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,
11:42 pm
you get c 2 companies in here. it's called think of the system service says, which is the technical term for what royce does do. and when they're non long selective features, which means they're taking in 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 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. so there's simply no other product out there that gives back more to the environment. i love what i do. i love what i wrote present. i love the fact that i'm in the
11:43 pm
environment that i loved been treasure, and that's, and that's passion and follow your heart. the treasures of solve solve will be all recovered. it's taken 2 years for a pill to grow. inside this always done without homing but the creature, the valuable jewel, is removed. the, the pills are worth between $50.00 and $400.00. the bigger they all, the higher the price. that's a nice size. justin for 10 millimeter, which is quite rare. but i love these colors here. talk just because the weight 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 design and they're completely natural and very beautiful. the . yeah, so the window shows as a cool and sustainable jewelry. another gift from nature,
11:44 pm
given when it's treated with patients and k, the same to you the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's my thoughts or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stop in port is not i want my son to the doctor, joe,
11:45 pm
in the clubs. it's time to, to get in your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations flash starts, january 14th on dw says kind of fun, it feels like therapy the to got a safe roof overhead for now. and so we find an apartment and just making sure i took every necessary steps to make sure there's no, this one gets like the life that i never, hey, new york, the city of big dreams for many is also home to a growing number of i'm house to people but it's real easy to be home over 650000 people are homeless in the us more than ever before.
