| I am really glad to see that Cultured Japanese Akoya Pearls vs. Chinese Akoya Pearls is making news. All of this awareness in news mediums will hopefully sway jewelers to be honest about what they are selling. It is not fair to the customers because they would have no way of knowing what they are buying. It is up to us to educate our customers, and I am delighted to see that we are making a giant step forward towards creating customer awareness of Chinese Akoya pearls being sold as Japanese Akoyas. |
