Should I look for a dealer who only handles wholesale freshwater pearls?

Buying Wholesale Freshwater Pearls

Some online dealers exclusively handle wholesale freshwater pearls. Some of these dealers import the pearls directly from China and Japan, and some even own their own pearl beds in the Orient. Often, these dealers sell completed jewelry along with loose pearls for jewelry design. When choosing wholesale freshwater pearls, make sure to understand where the dealer obtains their pearls, and how they are treated after harvesting. Some pearl dealers coat their pearls with lacquer to make them appear glossy, giving cheap pearls additional luster. Reputable dealers will offer a wide selection of wholesale freshwater pearls because they have access to more pearls and more pearl dealers.
