Hi Jeremy,

According to Stuller's website, they're still selling Paspaley pearls. I read many trade publications...... I must have missed something along the way because I never read anything about a falling out between the two companies. I'd certainly consider that newsworthy. Then again, you are privy to sources that most of us are not, but if you did read about this news somewhere, and are able to share where you read this, I'd really appreciate knowing.

As far as going to their offices in Hong Kong, I don't consider myself to be a "big" buyer, I'm just a goldsmith. Although, I've made several pearl purchases over the years, they probably consider me just "small potatoes". Next year, I might be fortunate enough to attend the HK show in Sept. and possibly then try for an appointment in their HK office.
