Abstract

Vizhinjam Research Centre of CMFRI has recently developed a simple and unique technique for the production of Mabe/image pearls. The technique developed also includes method to produce quality images for implantation using metal templates. Metal templates of required shape, design and size were first made. Then shell cement prepared using black clam shell (Villorita cyprinoides) was used to make the images.
