Wanted to ask this too ... all the press about natural pearls just be doing something to awareness and demand, but there's no more supply aside antiques that run short in the quality that matters. Wouldn't call that lopsided situation a 'market'. But, could anything like the story of colored diamonds happen to natural pearls? I.e. something counter-intuitive but rare riding the huge popularity of something with sustainable supply...
Trying some pearl S.F. here: any chance old sources of supply might restart? Any chance natural pearls could be produced by rearing shells but not tempering with the pearls (no nuceation, tissue or otherwise)? Some other wild, weird way to rekindle supply of naturals?
You can prescribe strong, black coffee too
