Both classic and modern, the pearl is timeless.
The shimmering pearl is beneficial for the soul and emotional balance. It strengthens intuition and helps explore emotions, facilitating grief and the transformation of pain. Pearls, associated with tears, allow the release of the past to promote the flow of life. Unlike gemstones, they form naturally in mollusks in response to a foreign body. This analogy reflects their ability to help resolve conflicts and bring comfort during dark times.

A la fois classique et moderne, la perle est intemporelle
There are two sizes of pearls: 0.6–0.7 cm and 0.9–1 cm.
Necklaces measure 45 cm, and bracelets 18–19 cm.
The pearls are baroque freshwater pearls, naturally irregular in shape.
Combined with gold and gemstones, pearls have long been essential status symbols in the treasures of kings, princes, and church dignitaries. Since antiquity, they have been prized for displaying wealth and prosperity.
Pearls evoke feminine beauty, seduction, grace, and elegance, and are also considered a symbol of fertility. They enhance lunar qualities and are associated with the zodiac sign Cancer, whose ruling planet is the Moon.

Pearls, jewels of the sea, form inside marine shells such as oysters, as well as in certain freshwater shells, when foreign objects enter and irritate the delicate mucous membrane of the animal. In response to this intrusion, the living creature coats the foreign object with nacre — the precious substance it uses to build its shell.
Depending on their origin, pearls are classified as natural pearls (with a nucleus from nature, such as a grain of sand) or cultured pearls (where a nucleus or tissue particles are inserted by human hands). The perfect shape for a pearl is spherical, but this ideal is rare among natural pearls. Those with irregular contours are called "baroque pearls."
Pearls contain between 3 and 4% water. When storing them, it is essential to maintain this precious moisture, as its loss would dull their luster — a process known as the “death” of the pearl. The water content remains stable in contact with the skin, but it is crucial to avoid exposure to detergents, cosmetics, and perfumes. Handle them with care.
