They could also commission jewelry from these pearls and mark up the price until only the royals could afford it.

"Why not?" 

"Because pearls aren't the trend right now," the merchant from Holy Achate added. "Gemstones, especially ruby, are the current trend because they are hard to come by. Only old women would wear pearls."
