During the 2008/2009 we learned a lot of what was going on in the trade with pearl farms, wholesalers, Pearl Professor what happened to him and how does the business look like in 2013. The farms, the wholesalers, the business in Asia, USA, Europe and elsewhere?:eek:
 
Still lots of closed pearl farms in Australia and Indonesia. When the remaining companies consolidate, they often become more insular, and thus, less insider information is disclosed. French Polynesia returned to assessing their export tax and untaxed/low quality pearls are still going out of the country to be sold illegally. Apparently, The Pearl Professor hasn't come across any juicy tidbits in the last two years. :_
 
then the other part of the trade is the sales to the wholesalers and their sales this year during Basel World and the show in the US at the moment, any reports on those?
