[quote=pbazar;31487]I just returned from Tahiti from a buying trip. The price of lower and medium quality pearls are definitely down the price of larger and Gem quality pearls are not lower.

There are a lot of 8mm -10mm pearls on the market right now and I was able to get some great deals. The weak dollar high gold and energy prices plus a poor economy hurts the whole world and Tahitian Pearls are not immune.

PBazar,
I am a little confused. I take it you are with Imperial Pearl Syndicate? Do you mean that the 8-10s are or are not cheaper and are they cheaper only in lower qualities but not gem quality?
