Gemstone of the Month - Pearl

Written by Matthew Ely | Jun 3, 2016 11:00:56 AM

June is the month of Pearl, the oldest known gem and traditionally thought to represent truth, faith and love.
I have always enjoyed working with pearls, it can take up to three years for a pearl to reach its full size and nacre thickness but it is this organic process that brings about an air of natural beauty to each pearl. Their clean, look and bright lustre adds a level of sophistication to any piece, allowing me to create minimally styled, finely detailed jewellery elements that let the pearl take centre stage.

A pearl’s natural luminance means that it stands out when paired with a range of materials from Rose Gold to White gold, allowing for clients to tailor their choice to their personal preferences and styles.

To learn more about pearls and their use in our designs, contact the boutique and a member of the team will be able to talk you through the intricacies of using pearl or set up an appointment to view our pearl pieces.
