June 2014 Hong Kong Gem Show - Best Of Report

It's been a few weeks since the last Hong Kong gem show and I finally have a chance to come up for air and blog about some of my favorite pearl finds from the show.

I must say, it's a lot easier to do these gem show blogs when I have Alana with me to take pictures, thankfully she's assured me she'll come to the next show in September. Even with my humble photography skills, I was able to get some interesting shots of amazing pearls. 
.
Although prices on average were high, I was pleased with the selection of pearls and overall quality was up across the board. Some items like "Fireball" and "Edison" Freshwater pearls jumped in price significantly, so much so that I didn't bring any back with me. But that seems to the life cycle of the new pearl types, at first they're considered junk, then they realize there is a market and prices sky rocket. If I had to make a prediction I'd point to ripple pearls being the next variety to really jump in price, in fact they already have started to rise since March. The lesson here is it's best to stock up on new varieties of pearls early, before prices jump.
