Discovering the diversity of pearls

Pearls are treasured for their natural beauty, soft lustre and individuality. Each pearl is unique, shaped by nature with its own colour, form and character.

Cultured pearls are generally divided into two categories: saltwater and freshwater pearls. South Sea, Tahitian and Akoya pearls are saltwater varieties, prized for their distinctive characteristics, beautiful lustre and limited production. Freshwater pearls offer a wonderful diversity of shapes and colours, with exceptional-quality pearls capable of achieving remarkable lustre.

The beauty and value of a pearl are determined by more than its type or size. Lustre, surface quality, shape, size and nacre quality all contribute to the character and overall quality of each pearl.

At Pearlory, we carefully consider these qualities when selecting our pearls, celebrating the subtle differences that make every piece naturally unique.
