The Perlore Story: A Journey from Fresh Waters to the Deep Sea

At Perlore, our passion for pearls is rooted in their incredible diversity—a diversity that begins with their very origin. Our collection celebrates the unique beauty of both freshwater and saltwater pearls, each telling a distinct story of its journey from a living mollusk to a cherished piece of jewellery.

The Tale of Freshwater Pearls Our freshwater pearls begin their lives in the calm, gentle waters of lakes and rivers. Grown in freshwater mussels, these pearls are known for their remarkable variety of shapes, sizes, and natural colours, including delicate shades of pink, lavender, and peach. Unlike their saltwater counterparts, freshwater mussels can produce multiple pearls at once, making them more abundant and accessible. The history of freshwater pearls traces back to ancient China, where their cultivation was a closely guarded secret. Today, we source these pearls from ethical farms that honour this rich heritage, resulting in the vibrant and uniquely shaped gems that are a cornerstone of our collection. They represent a modern, artistic expression of a timeless gem, perfect for those who value individuality and style.

The Story of Sea Pearls From the peaceful fresh waters, we journey to the vast, mysterious oceans to find our sea pearls. Our saltwater collection features the most renowned varieties: the classic Akoya, the exotic Tahitian, and the luxurious South Sea pearls.
