Geological Properties

Pearls are a marvel of nature, uniquely formed within living organisms such as oysters and mussels. These gems develop as layers of calcium carbonate build up around an irritant, resulting in their smooth, lustrous surface.

Colours range from classic white to elegant black, shimmering pinks, or soft golds. Pearls are delicate, with a hardness of 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, and must be cared for meticulously to maintain their brilliance. Today, cultured pearls dominate the market, ensuring these treasures remain accessible to all.
