Pearls of wisdom


It never ceases to astonish me how this little blue planet of ours can create such beauty... lush forests, brightly coloured tropical fish, vast mountains, diamonds and, finally, pearls.

Since ancient times, pearls have epitomized pure, unblemished perfection, symbolizing innocence and purity.

Ladies throughout the fashionable world and throughout history have understood the elegant impact of pearls, from Marie Antoinette to American first ladies, from Coco Chanel, to contemporary artists to Hindu and Persian royalty.

Pearls were the first gems to be embraced by the elegant classes of the world, and it is believed that the first piece of pearl jewellery known is a 2000 year old necklace belonging to a Persian princess.

Pearls truly are jewels of the sea and have the power to add a touch of classic beauty to any outfit on any occasion.
