Discovering the Beauty of Freshwater Pearls
We cherish every detail in our jewellery, especially the quality and origin of the materials that define each piece. A standout element in our collection is the freshwater pearl, renowned for its gentle, natural beauty and sustainable origins. These exquisite pearls are sourced from Zhuji, Zhejiang, China, a city celebrated for its rich history in freshwater pearl farming and commitment to environmentally friendly practices.
