Fascinating World of Pearls and Shells | GIA Knowledge Sessions Webinar Series

GIA Knowledge Sessions Webinar - recorded live on April 30, 2020.
We’re shelling out pearl knowledge with a webinar by Nick Sturman, senior manager of global pearl services at GIA. Do all bivalves, including oysters, clams and mussels, produce pearls? What are conch and melo pearls? Which pearl types are the most popular and where are they found? From the seas of Australia, Tahiti and Thailand to the waters of China, travel with us as we dive into the world of these rare organic treasures.
