Well first of all I can tell you based on myself trying to sell my pearls to jewelry brokers, pearls are not wanted by sellers anymore. They all have told me the same thing when I asked why they won’t buy it: “We don’t take pearls anymore because they are not in style. Customers don’t shop for pearls anymore. It’s now gold or real silver jewelry, stones or diamonds. You will be lucky if you find anyone to purchase your pearls.” Truth is, I have not and no one will. Why don’t you look around at your local jewelers and see what they are selling. You want to be in the now when it comes to selling product in this economy. You want to be in style or yes you will find yourself having a stock of jewelry that is not moving. Unless of course if this is just a hobby or part time thing you are doing aside from a full time job, then by all means go for it. However, have other items beside pearl jewelry so you do not get stuck wasting $$ being put into the business and not have purchases. Mix it up in your collection.
