July 2, 2010, Newsletter Issue #248: Pearl Shapes and Their Cost

Tip of the Week

There was a time when perfect pearls were round, and anything else was simply not saleable. Today, anything goes in pearls, from triangular to coin-shaped and beyond. What you pay for these various shapes depends on their design popularity, color, and luster. Luster affects the price of all pearls, no matter what their shape or how they were cultured – in saltwater or freshwater. When you purchase pearls for your customer's jewelry designs, look for a supplier that carries a wide variety of pearl shapes for creative pearl jewelry.
