Japanese Akoya Pearls - so far good

The situation of cultivation of Japanese Akoya pearls are good so far.
Temperature of sea was good this summer, so they grow up without problems.
Therefore we can expect good pearls next harvest season in December.

Problem is economic mood.
Economic mood has been no good since U.S.A. economy shock.
It affected all over the world and consumers don't buy Jewelry now.
So it may affect auction price for Japanese Akoya pearls.
It is true that there are shortage of fine quality goods, so everybody want to get them.
However if the cost is too high, we can not sell them.
