中国产的珍珠价格弹性很大,若在未来一两年供应量猛增,世界珍珠价格将受到巨大影响。质量好且让美国中产阶层负担得起的珍珠不是来自大溪地,也不是太平洋上其他海水珍珠养殖场,而是来自新的淡水珍珠养殖工业中心——中国浙江省诸暨市。在过去的几年中,世界上直径半英寸的自珍珠的批发价格下降了30%,据美国《纽约时报》报道,这都是因为高质量的在原来的稻田中养殖的中国珍珠造成的。
The pearl price in China is very flexible. If the supply increases sharply in the next year or two, the price of the world pearl will be greatly affected. The pearl, which is of good quality and affordable to the American middle class, comes not from Tahitian, nor from other seawater pearl farms in the Pacific but from the new industrial center for freshwater pearl farming - Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, China. In the past few years, the wholesale price of self-pearl, half an inch in diameter, has dropped by 30% in the world. According to the New York Times, this is due to the high quality Chinese pearls cultured in the original paddy fields.
