Our collections include five major pearl varieties:

• Akoya Pearls — the classic Japanese saltwater pearl known for its bright, mirror‑like luster.
• Freshwater Pearls — organic, expressive shapes with warm pastel colors.
• Tahitian Pearls — naturally dark pearls with iridescent tones, cultivated in French Polynesia.
• White South Sea Pearls — luminous, large pearls from Australian waters.
• Golden South Sea Pearls — rare, naturally golden pearls from the Philippines and Indonesia.

Yes. Cultured pearls are created by living oysters and mussels in water.

A small bead and mantle tissue is placed inside the shell, and nature takes over from there—layer upon layer of nacre forms around it. The result is a genuine pearl, identical in composition to pearls formed without human help.

A pearl’s value depends on six main factors:
size, shape, color, surface quality, luster, and matching.

• South Sea pearls sit at the top for rarity, size, and soft luster.
• Tahitian pearls are second highest, prized for their natural dark spectrum.
• Akoya pearls hold classic value for symmetry and brilliance.
• Freshwater pearls offer variety and excellent quality at approachable prices.

The most important factor in a pearl’s value is its rarity. The rarer the type, the more exceptional — and valuable — the pearl.

• Akoya: Cream, white or silver with soft pink, green, or silver overtones.
• Freshwater: Naturally in white, peach, pink, and lavender.
• Tahitian: From silver and light gray to deep green, blue, and peacock black.
• White South Sea: White, silver, or aqua tones with soft, satin reflection.
• Golden South Sea: Range from pale cream to deep greenish 24‑karat gold — all natural, never dyed.

• Akoya – Japan (mainly), with smaller farms across Asia and Australia.
• Freshwater – China’s ponds, lakes and rivers.
• Tahitian – French Polynesia, Cook Islands, and surrounding Pacific atolls.
• White South Sea – Off the Australian coast.
• Golden South Sea – The Philippines, Myanma, and Indonesia.

Wild and hatchery oysters are both used in South Sea farming to maintain healthy ocean ecosystems.

South Sea oysters grow the largest pearls in the world and are extremely delicate—farming takes up to four years under precise conditions. Their nacre layers are exceptionally thick, giving a smooth, velvety reflection found in no other pearl. Perfectly round South Sea strands are rare and command premium collector prices.

Depends on a type of pearls.

• Akoya and Freshwater pearls are dyed black.
• Tahitian pearls gain their dark hues naturally from the black‑lip oyster.
• Golden South Sea pearls get their warm shades from the gold‑lip variety of Pinctada maxima. No dyes or treatments are used; the color is organic to the pearl itself.

Approximate size ranges are differ from type to type:

• Akoya: 1 – 10 mm, rare up to 12 mm.
• Freshwater: 1 – 15 mm +.
• Tahitian: 8 – 18 mm.
• South Sea: 8 – 20 mm, occasionally larger.
  Larger size, symmetry, and flawless surface increase both rarity and value.
