I can't tell you how important I think it is that you have have some control after raising the pearl! By selling directly to the public as a pearl farmer, you are on the crest of the wave. Long may you stay there!
I hope others join Josh, Douglas, R&B, and Dave coming along from pearl farmers to pearl entrepreneurs! Vertical organizations, just like Paspaley and Jewelmer, but in a personal scale, though I can't see why Josh couldn't "franchise" not only his pearl farming expertise to others, but also wanting to go past just the pearl farming alone to selling to the public as a small enterprise. The Sea of Cortez model, so to speak. SoC. Well, sock it to me, I see this development as being of possible major importance. I truly hope so!
