Thank you for those links Jeremy I've had a good look through them. I saw the price tag on one pearl and almost fell down. Everybody's advice here has really changed my perspective and my plan - so thank you, i got much more than i expected when i joined in this forum. I never really thought...

It's an incredibly interesting topic for me too, Jerseypearl. Well you have successfully warned me away from Melo pearls. That's one dream that is going firmly on the backburner. If anybody didn't know though the snails are grown in C?t B? port in Vietnam. I've got to admit that the news about...

On the subject of Akoya and Freshwater pearls - what are the main ways to tell the difference between both of them? Apart from the Oysters of course.

I can see where your coming from. And thank you for trying to warn me. I have found some farms, and i will try to contact them and see if they can sell me good pearls for wholesale prices. If they don't then i will know enough to quit before putting any money into this thing. I don't know a...

Hello everyone, i'm new here and hoped you could get me some advice with this. I want to start selling pearls online and i'm trying to calculate all of the costs and pricing involved. Do you know how to find out what tax i would pay when sending pearls to different countries? I want to sell to...

Instead of starting a new post i thought i would just interject here. I hope that's Ok so excuse me if it isn't (i'm new to posting here). Can anyone recommend (or disapprove) any online courses for pearl education? I'm new to this and i'm looking for a way (not expensive) to increase my...
