马其顿 奥赫里德珍珠
1.马其顿的奥赫里德珍珠（Ohrid Pearl）是该国最著名的宝藏之一。这种珍珠是由贝壳制成的，通过涂抹至少八层特制的乳液，该乳液由生活在奥赫里德湖中的特有鱼类Plasica的鳞片制成，从而获得独特的光泽。与传统珍珠不同，奥赫里德珍珠可以永久保存。
2.该地区的奥赫里德珍珠历史可以追溯到 1920 年代，Filevi和Talevi家族是近100年来唯一知道如何生产奥赫里德珍珠的两个家族，他们只通过口头传承将珍珠生产的秘密从父亲传给儿子。

Macedonian Ohrid Pearl
1.Macedonia’s Ohrid Pearl is one of the country’s most famous treasures. This pearl is made of shells, coated with at least eight layers of special emulsion made from the scales of the unique fish Plasica living in Lake Ohrid, giving it a unique luster. Unlike traditional pearls, Ohrid pearls can be preserved permanently.
2.The history of Ohrid pearls in this region dates back to the 1920s. The Filevi and Talevi families are the only two families in nearly 100 years who know how to produce Ohrid pearls. They have passed on the secrets of pearl production from father to son only through oral instruction.
3.The jewelry of Ohrid has become one of the most important trademarks of the country. It has been worn by Queen Elizabeth of Britain, Princess Diana, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, Queen Silvia of Sweden, Queen Margaret II of Denmark and other royal families.
4.To purchase genuine “Ohrid Pearls”, the only way is to buy from the Filevi family or Talevi family who know the secret recipe.
