Adored by Kings and Queens, worn by the most beautiful and powerful women and men throughout the ages, magnificent pearls of special significance, when discovered, quickly established their own special place amongst the most sought after and beautiful gems in the world.

Throughout history, the use of pearls has not been limited to jewellery. Pearls were often used to decorate clothing and embroidery - Queen Elizabeth I was famous for her pearl encrusted gowns.

However, the pearl is the only gem that can emerge from nature perfect and complete. Unlike diamonds and other gemstones, it does not require cutting and polishing to reveal its beauty. It is nature’s perfection in a luminous droplet.

As in history past, when rare pearls of perfection are found, they are a true gift of nature, and are still one of the most sought after unique gems of choice today.

As was the tradition in past generations, today’s most famous jewellers and designers continue to compose and design exquisite strands and desirable jewellery showcasing the beauty of the most important pearls found each year.
