"An Akoya Pearl Guild is dying to found in China. "

An Akoya pearl guild could benefit if the indusry and the consumer if they were able to standardize culturing practices and quality standards. A benefit to the Akoya farmers would also be stability of pricing. Though it would impact the end-comsumer, an akoya guild could certainly control pricing and keep them at a higher price, similar to what we see with diamonds, but something like that is always difficult to pull off because there will always be someone who gets greedy and will be willing to undersell.

Vigor,

what is your vision for an Akoya pearl guild? What would be its primary purposes and function?
