yes i also declare my pearls but for some reason most post company s are not that safe anymore and they keep missing packages on a daily base so for me i dont put any value on the packages
and since there is no value they arrive safely
and a pearl has no set value its not a piece of gold where you can say hey its 20 grams so worth that much
it all depends where you live i guess where i am from i get my tax back as a company when i import something so it doesn't really matter

zengirl the 17,6 is somewhere around 1100 
i think to actually have on a necklace or something as a men a 14 / 15 mm black pearl will be fine maybe more blue color than peacock and also the skin tone is important white skin does not go superb with a green pearl where blue does and darker skin is more nice with creme and green color pearls
tomorrow i have somebody from the cook islands here to look over some harvest and i think he has a idea for a men line with pearls also i will try to let you guys know what he is up to

Ooo, if it is opened to all and not just to those in the trade, then I would love to come along if it is during a weekend on a day trip.
It would be a pleasure to meet you in person and see your beautiful creations in the flesh!
Where could I find more information please?
