Pearl is the birthstone for June, if you wear it as your birthstone, it will bless you with love & luck.

Pearls are organic, they form within the soft tissues of a living creature called a mollusc. Natural Pearls form when a mollusc defends itself against a parasite or a piece of stand. They omit a fluid called Nacre, which coats the irritant with layers to create a Pearl. Cultured Pearls make up approximately 90% of today’s Pearl Market.

The difference between Natural and Cultured Pearls is that cultured Pearls are given a helping hand using a mantle tissue to replace the parasite/sand. To create a Nucleated Pearl, a bead is inserted into the mollusc with a piece of mantle tissue to kickstart the process. It is a very skilful and precise task with lots of care given to the mollusc.  

The interior of the shell gives the Pearl it’s colour. When farming Pearls, the farmer will not know what colour the Pearls will be until they harvest it. It can take 4 to 5 years for a cultured Pearl to grow.

Freshwater Pearls are extra durable when worn with care and will maintain their colour and lustre for decades. Baroque is the term used for any Pearl that isn’t round.
