Pearl Varieties Overview
Five pearls, five different waters, and five very different personalities. Here is a brief introduction to each — enough to help you recognise which one speaks to you.
OF FIVE
SOUTH SEA WHITE PEARL · 澳白珍珠
The King of Pearls
Grown in the clear, unhurried waters off Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, the South Sea white pearl carries a soft, silk-like glow admired the world over. A pearl for those who love quiet, high-end elegance — the kind that speaks without needing to be loud.

OF FIVE
Akoya Pearl · Akoya 珍珠
The Brightest Star of the Pearl World
Small, precise, and famously luminous — the Akoya accounts for more of the pearl world than any other variety. Its sharp, mirror-like shine suits a softer, more youthful sensibility, equally at home in the office or on a quiet evening out.

SOUTH SEA GOLDEN PEARL · 南洋金珠
The Queen of Pearls
Born from the golden-lipped oyster in the warm waters of the South Pacific, this pearl carries a natural, sun-warmed colour no dye can replicate. A pearl for those drawn to richness and quiet opulence.

OF FIVE
TAHITIAN PEARL · 大溪地珍珠
Mystery, and a Touch of the Exotic
From the black-lipped oyster of French Polynesia comes a pearl unlike any other — deep, dark tones that shift into peacock green, aubergine, and platinum grey as the light moves. A pearl for those with a distinctive, individual sense of style.

FRESHWATER PEARL · 淡水珍珠
Where Many Pearl Journeys Begin
Grown in freshwater lakes, largely in China, this is the most versatile and accessible of the five — available in a wider range of colours than any other pearl, and a wonderful introduction to what a fine pearl can be.
