Freshwater pearls are composed entirely of the nacre produced by the mollusk. They have a denser structure than sea pearls, which are made up of a nucleon covered with the nacre produced by the mollusk. Freshwater pearls are therefore very resistant and cannot flake off because they are formed from a block. They offer a beautiful quality of brilliance. Radiation treatment produces darker shades, for a totally natural and long-lasting look, unlike dyed pearls, which are of lower quality. The infrastructure used for pearl farming in lakes is simpler and less expensive than that used in the sea. In addition, each transplanted mollusk can produce up to fifty pearls instead of one or two in sea pearl culture. This makes harvest easier, without affecting quality. These factors explain the lower cost of freshwater pearls and allow us to offer you quality and elegant creations at attractive prices.

The ancient Greeks associated these brilliant gems with Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, born from seafoam. Shaking herself, the goddess would have thrown drops of water into the ocean; these drops of water would have become pearls, a symbol of the charm of the goddess of love. Others preferred to believe that the pearls came from drops of water solidified by the light of the sun or the moon... Centuries have passed, knowledge has evolved, but the pearl remains to this day the peaceful emblem of the ultimate natural beauty. Its mysterious charm is found at the heart of our Rare Pearl Collection and is expressed in a proposal of classic, essential jewelry. *Each jewel in this Collection bears the name of an exceptional woman who made history by receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Real rare pearls...
