The story: A symbol of elegance and refinement, the fine pearl has been one of the most prized treasures of jewelry for centuries. Unlike cultured pearls, the fine pearl forms naturally, without human intervention, when a grain of sand or impurity accidentally enters the oyster. This rare phenomenon gives each pearl a unique beauty, the result of chance and time.

Its soft hue, often white or slightly pinkish, and its delicately pearly orient make it the embodiment of purity and timeless charm. In addition, the formation of a fine pearl can span several years, further enhancing its rarity and exceptional value.
