1. The Birth of a Pearl — Nature Meets Craft

When a small nucleus or tissue is gently placed into an oyster, it begins to secrete nacre, layer by layer, creating a pearl through patience and nature’s embrace.

2. Silent Growth Beneath the Water

High-quality pearls take 2–5 years or longer to grow. During this time, farmers carefully monitor the water, temperature, and oyster health to ensure each pearl develops beautifully. No two pearls are ever the same — each is signed by nature.

3. Harvesting — The Magical Moment

When the time is right, the oyster is carefully opened, revealing the wonder within: luminous pearls, each glowing with a unique beauty.
