About the pearls we use

Eternally appealing, forever coming back into fashion, worn (inspiringly) by women from Sarah Jessica Parker to Coco Chanel, pearls come in all shapes, sizes, colour and cost.We use only freshwater pearls – they offer great value for their lustre and with their myriad shapes adapt really well to my designs and vision.

You can buy Tahitian pearls from French Polynesia, Thailand, Burma, Philippines & Indonesia (£2,000 - £20,000 a strand): South Sea Pearls from Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Burma (£3,000-£100,000); Akoya Pearls (£500-£10,000) from Japan or South East Asia – or you can have some modern style at a fraction of the cost with our freshwater pearls.

All our white and pink pearls have a natural colour – our other colours are all dyed so we can get just the right tone.Fresh water pearls take around 2 years to grow in their freshwater mussels (these can be very large, like a large rectangular purse), and our very special rebirth pearls go in twice for double the lustre and beauty.

Pearls need to be worn or they dry out so don’t keep them for special, wear them everyday.

Cleaning and caring for your jewellery

The Pearl Association recommend that your pearls and beads should be re-strung every 12 months to avoid accidental breakage from wear and tear.

You must not wet your pearls (especially in swimming pools etc)

Avoid wet perfume near pearls as this will damage them.

Make sure your pearls are put away when you are using any hairsprays as this will also damage them.

Always put your pearlsaway in the packaging given to you at the point of sale when not in use.

What colour pearls are best for you?

 One easy way to determine which pearl colours will compliment you is to put on white, light pink, and cream coloured clothing and see what lost best next to your face. Often two of the colours will look equally attractive,but it's rare that all three will. Consider too, if you want people to notice the pearls when you wear them. If you do, then choose a colour that contrasts with your skin tone. Pearls that blend in too closely won't be very striking.

The purpose of the jewellery is to enhance your appearance, not detract from it, so it's worth putting some thought into your colour choices!
