I am actually not sure about the mark up on Akoya pearls in Europe, although I do know they are more expensive there.
According to NW Gem Lab out of Boise the average national markup in the US is 2.7. Some stores that I sell to immediately mark a price of 6 times the cost and then sell them at discount.
The reason I say 300% is because this is 'triple keystone' the standard, right?
