Education
It is our belief an enhanced knowledge of the cultured pearl product category results in greater sales and an increased passion for pearls.
We know that many sales people in jewelry stores are not that comfortable when it comes to pearls. They know their diamonds, but pearls are a different animal.
The following is a quick review of what you need to know to let your customer have confidence in your pearl knowledge.
Certainly the rarest and most valuable botanical jewel is the legendary "coconut pearl" that occasionally forms inside a coconut (Cocos nucifera).
Like the pearls of oysters and giant clams, it is a shiny calcareous sphere. It is difficult to place a monetary value on a genuine coconut pearl, but the odds of finding one in a coconut are certainly less than one in a million. To put it another way, if you cracked open and thoroughly examined one coconut every 15 minutes during a normal eight hour work day, it would take roughly 80 years to go through a million coconuts!
