While China’s production volume is high in both marine and freshwater pearls, it has a relatively low share (10-20%) of the global trade as China’s pearl processing abilities are low.

Thus the value of the product is low. With various high quality pearl jewelry remain popular in the market along with the low price, it is also time for you to begin your purchases now!
