Pearls as One The New CPAA Pearl Specialist Certification Course

[StarryPearl]

Look at this thread, it’s fabulous!!!
Of all the certificate options, I think I’d want......
this one! It seems to come with a hank of pearls!

Wow! The certificate came with the strand of pearls? Seriously?They look gorgeous!!

Now I want a printout version. How can I pay for it? I remember when I got the online certificate a while back there was a link to purchase, but I cannot find it anymore . Anyone could help me out?

Thank you, Douglas, you are always so helpful... I just saw your link and placed order, and then I saw lisa c's reply... Although a bit disappointed no pearls to come, I am still glad I paid something to the organization. After all, the course was wonderful and free.

Jeremy, What stood out for me was the question on the final test (not quoted) which shape is the most valuable for South Sea Pearls...I said 'round' and I got it wrong...I know it's not wrong, LOL...I still passed but that I got it wrong irks me

Thank you again Jeremy
I actually got into the action whilst you were explaining all about the Certification Course during the Pearl Ruckus. So far I am enjoying it and learning (who says a "Pearl Expert" can't learn new things???) and I do recommend it if you like, love, want, work with, sell, manufacture jewelry, are a designer or just because you want to understand or know about PEARLS. Whatever the reason: if there is a Pearl in your Life you should do it.
KUDOS!!!!

I agree because even if you don't work in the pearl industry you can use the knowledge during your own purchases and that alone is great!! Thank you for offering it to the public. An informed consumer is a smart consumer!

I think the question was actually what is the most important value factor - luster. The most valuable shape is round
