I suggest getting a subscription to 'Pearl World, The International Pearling Journal'. You may also want to contact Mr. Bo Torrey (do a forum search for "Pearl World") and ask him for any past issues that deal with your questions.
Jewellery News Asia will also have a lot of great information. They have a Site you can sign up for (free) and get the latest news.
