I have not seen any of these types of pearls at the shows in Nevada or Arizona. Does anyone know if they will be on show at a future show?

I have seen a few pieces at the show here in Kobe. But it was not a manufacturer, it was just a 'finished' seller. I am not sure where you can buy these wholesale.

Actually, if I remember correctly, their is a 'Conch' pearl farm (although is may be Melo-Melo) based in New Zealand. I will put the info up here if I can find the name.

Do you think they would sell to a small retailer just a couple of samples?

It can't hurt to ask. I remember a fax I received from them 1-2 years ago. They were offering the pearls on a per-piece basis if I recall. There was also something about them being the first farm to successfully culture that 'type' of pearl. I will see if I can find it to be sure...

I found it!

I think it was the company 'Pacific Blue Pearls'. They are actually Abalone pearls, not Conch pearls. These are the blue Abalone pearls. You can contact this company to see if they will sell you some samples. I will check to see if their contact info is correct.

Do you have a show schedule? I would love to see some of these in person. I am going to print a few pictures from your site if it is OK to show some of my customers.

Eyris & Pacific Blue Pearls have concentrated on the educational aspect of the blue pearl, we do attend trade shows, but mainly as visitors not exhibitors.
We do exhibit in New Zealand and Australia, but have of late deferred to giving educational seminars for the benefit of industry bodies, as this seems to be a growing request. We attended the Marxh 04 JAA Fair in Brisbane and gave lectures on the Blue Pearl as part of the GAA workshop.
We will be at the visiting the JAA Trade Fair in Sydney later this year, 21st to 23rd August. Here we have been requested to conduct lectures for the benefit of GAA (Gemmological Association of Australia) and NCJV (National Council of Jewellery Valuers) members. We are also making appointments to meet with intersted parties attending the fair.
I am sorry that we are not giving any presentations in the USA this year, however we will re-evaluate this as interest grows. We are currently receiving growing interest through our websites and are constanly looking to update the information available there.
Do please feel free to printout images and information from our websites at www.bluepearls.com and www.pacificbluepearls.com .
I will post a new thread, as suggested, with more information on the Blue Pearl for the bemefit of the forum members.
Thank you all for your suggestions

It sounds like you are starting off in your local market first to build interest in this pearl. Who knows, maybe it will take off soon like the Tahitian! You guys just need your own Robert Wan.
The pictures really are beautiful, by the way, unlike any other gems.

Shirley,
I have decided to take your training course. We have 14 high-vloume stores that may be interested in carrying these pearls. I will email you through the Website after I have completed the course.
The Paua pearl seems like a great new venture!

I really love your sites about the Abalone pearls and find them very informative. I have been doing research on these pearls for a while and was very excited to see that you have posted here.

I have quite a few natural Abalone, Oyster and scallop pearls right now. I sold all of my Conch pearls in Tucson but should have new inventory in a few weeks. You can see pictures at www.oasispearl.com
