The Pearl Knowledge Project
The Cultured Pearl Association of America has under taken a project to educate the jewelry sales personal and the community as a whole. They have developed a “FUN” and ENTERTAINING way to teach and learn about cultured pearls with a “flash card” system. Each laminated card will be round in shape and since many questions pertain to all pearls there will be a visual indicator such as a cluster of pearls which means the Q & A refers to all pearls. If for example, the answer applies to only a Tahitian pearl then the visual will show a Tahitian pearl only. These visual aids will help in memory retention. A question will appear on one side and the answer on the reverse. Sales associates can even play and test each other, learning becomes fun and tests prove more knowledge is retained when done in an environment of fun!
The CPAA NEEDS YOU….the CPAA is reaching out to the pearl community asking for assistance is developing the best questions and answers for the cards. submit any questions regarding cultured pearls. What are the questions on peoples minds regarding pearls….whether you are a Jeweler, Retailer, Manager, Sales Associate, Pearl enthusiast …….no question is foolish, for instance many people think “cultured” is a variety of pearl, the CPAA’s goal is to share accurate information in a fun and easy way to learn. Pearl by pearl we can all make a difference.
As a special thank you, the CPAA will give a complimentary set of cards to each individual whose Q & A is selected. Additionally, the committee Chairman, at his discretion will award a copy of Elisabeth Strack’s book, Pearls, to the individual whose contribution was most significant in accomplishing this goal.
