Founded in 1957, the Cultured Pearl Association of America, Inc. is a nonprofit group comprising the finest manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, dealers, and suppliers of cultured pearls in the United States.
A number of international pearl-producing groups called benefactors also back many of the CPAA’s efforts.
The CPAA’s goal is to boost the marketability of cultured pearls for retailers while inspiring demand among consumers.
Through promotion, education, ethical business practices, and an unwavering commitment to this organic gem, the CPAA aims to drive an authentic passion for pearl across all varieties
