Every pearl is unique — each piece, even with the same design, features a different pearl. As the world’s only living gem, the pearl bears different natural qualities that create its distinct character. 

Beloved by many through millennia, pearls are universal gemstones. Historically, they have been worn by both men and women — in fact, men were the first to wear them. These lustrous gems have been known to adorn the crowns and jewelry of royalty, thus earning the titles the Queen of Gems and the Gem of Queens.

Today, pearls can be worn at different occasions by people of virtually any age. The variety of sizes, shapes, and hues makes the pearl an incredibly versatile gem.
