From Oyster to Jewel: A Pearl's Path

Pearls are one of nature's most prized gems, and their journey starts in the oyster's heart, where a tiny irritation is covered in layers of glossy nacre. Because they are organic and created by living things, pearls are unlike other gems. Both the exotic black Tahitian pearls and the traditional white Akoya pearls are prized for their timeless charm and gentle brilliance. Pearls have long been valued in many countries and eras, from ancient monarchy to contemporary fashion stars, as symbols of elegance, wisdom, and purity.
