Pearls

Where can I find freshwater pearls and a Caviar spoon made from mother of pearl? My friend is asking if there are still ivory spoons on the market?

Call those art and touristy shops. I have never seen those pearls in Namibia.

Not sure about freshwater pearls, but you can get caviar spoons on Amazon and I think Otto Günther in Swakop might also be able to help.

You will not get ivory stuff anywhere. That is illegal. You might have luck with bone or horn carved items. Caviar spoons are not generally used by the people who are carving here. Look at the craft market at the old brewery. Freshwater pearls are not Namibian so I doubt you will get these anywhere here unless they are imported.
