Any update?

yeah that could be a problem when asking someone for money to invest. generally the people with the $$$$$ are numbers people, not pearl people. and even though pearls are an asset their value is not as easily quantifiable as gold or a diamond which is more commoditized.

I always get a laugh when I pass their booth at a show. But my Asian friends don't seem to get it... I can imagine working for them... Customer ask: what company is? Me: Fook Yue. Then the customer walk off in anger...

I love to collect the odd shaped pearls. Here are my rabbit and shark shaped pearls. You may need to squint your eyes though... :D

it is very possible to sell real tahitian pearls on ebay. but the point is there are many people selling freshwater pearls as tahitian pearls just because the color is peacock. either they don't know the difference or more likely know the difference and are trying to sell them to someone who...

ok ok. i get it what you are asking for Caitlin...without further ado... but like jeremy said that forum was in 2009. the world economy is different now.

As you can see it is a beautiful baroque thumb drive but with a dyed blue color. I am thinking it come from China.

Recession? What recession? Pearls with historical provenance seem to always exceed the auction estimates.

Ok, i found the Dubai World Pearl Forum thumb drive. Sonny Sethi from the Cultured Pearl Association did a presentation. He has US pearl and pearl jewelry sales at $1.7 billion. But pearls make up only 2% of jewelry sales . My memory is lousy.

The pearls sound wonderful. I would love to see photos of the earrings.

I prefer 18kt gold but with the price of gold so high will use 14kt gold. My customers all want gold. Alot of people allergic to silver.

100 million combined? That's encouraging to hear. I think with the Internet people have become more knowledgable in pearls and hence more interested in pearls.

if these pearls belonged to your great great aunt or whatever you should keep them as they are part of your family history.

i remember a few years ago seeing some numbers at the world pearl forum in dubai. it was like a few hundred million but not sure if that was in the usa or global. if i can find the thumb drive that was given out with all the presentations maybe i could the figure for you.

golden keishis in big sizes (over 16mm)

its probably a genuine tahitian pearl necklace. its a nice strand dont get me wrong. but the certificate is just a selling tool.

hahahaha gotta love those AAAAAAAAAAAAA quality Natural Genuine South Sea Tahitian pearls :)

personally i would never buy pearls from anyone who said the grade is AAA. but that is just me.

yeah unfortunately these chinese freshwater pearls and are standard fare at every gift shop in south east asia. that is a problem with the pearl industry, the use of the term natural. it can be use in many ways. people use the word to describe natural color. to describe natural shape in some...

i am pretty sure they are pearls, probably akoya as they are very round. they match well with the PP necklace.
