Meeting on the second day of the 2016 CIBJO Congress, the organisation\u2019s Pearl Commission reviewed recommended edits to the Pearl Book proposed by the body\u2019s steering committee, including recommendations for the definitions for Blister and Blister Pearl.<\/p>\n

The meeting also discussed the recommendations of the Pearl Commission Steering Committee regarding the CIBJO Guide for Classifying Natural and Cultured Pearls.<\/p>\n

The Pearl Commission Steering Committee was asked to produce the guide two years ago, and has been working on it intensively over the past year, said Pearl Commission Chairman Ken Scarratt.<\/p>\n

“It is a very large document and there were proposals to reduce it, but there was no clear guideline about how to do that,” he commented. “The committee is still looking at ways to make it more manageable to readers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
