Curious if anyone has or will be taking advantage of pre-tariff pricing on pearls while stock is still available? And were you already planning to make a purchase or did you decide to make one because of what's happening? Are you planning to wait all of this out and see what happens?
I saw Moline made a statement about having pre-tariffed inventory available; strangely I haven't seen any messages coming from Pearl Paradise or other popular vendors in the U.S. (if you have, please share!). I assume anything from Takahashi or General Pearl or other non-US vendors will be hit, although I've read conflicting things about whether it would hit people buying for personal use vs. retailers purchasing wholesale (can anyone decisively clear that up??).
Crazy to think about freshwaters having akoya-like price hikes!
