| Ragnorak - I agree. All you can do is your own little bit of education whenever you can. Giving good pearls, priced appropriately, and presented appropriately is what the best of us aim to do. I have restrung pearls for customers that I know could be bought and sold profitably for under $40 only to hear that my customer paid several hundreds of dollars for them from so called gemmology qualified antique dealers.
It is an uphill battle for those of us that like to do things ethically. |
