Freshwater Pearls
A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls ~ CocoChanel
The oldest known gem in the world.
As early as 2206 BC a Chinese historian wrote about pearls. Since then the pearl has remained a symbol of unblemished perfection.
Pearls have been prized by discriminating women for centuries.
However, until the 20th Century pearls were accessible only to the rich. This changed when techniques for creating human-cultivated pearls were discovered. With pearl cultivation freshwater pearls became affordable and rivaled natural pearls in color and luster.
We are pleased to offer freshwater pearls in a variety of shapes and colors.
All of our pearls are strung with the finest silk thread and hand knotted between each pearl; important signs of quality.
