[National Pearl]

Depending on their size, you might also try your luck by approaching various retailers that have a decent pearl offering. This is actually how I got my start. If you are sourcing your Akoya well, you will be able to offer much lower prices than what the typical pearl distributor will offer the end retail store. It is not an easy approach, but it is a good way to discover more about pricing points in the retail world, and if you only intend to sell pearls to suppliment your income, it can be an exciting hobby and perhaps will lead to bigger and better things.

Good luck!!
