Thoughtfully designed and consciously crafted, our pieces are made to move with you — from day to night, from season to season.

A: We've taken the most classic gem in the world and given it a bold, modern twist. While many brands use imitation pearls, we work exclusively with real, sustainably sourced pearls — bringing authenticity and accessibility together in every collection.

Baroque, circled and button pearls — imperfectly perfect shapes that honour the pearl's natural form. Each piece is meant to be worn your way: stacked, solo or dressed up. Thanks to deep industry roots and direct access to family-owned pearl farms, we maintain the highest standards in quality and sourcing. Every piece is crafted with lasting materials like solid 10-kart and 14-karat gold and rhodium-plated sterling silver. Q: Where are the pieces designed and made? A: All our designs begin in Montreal, where creativity and craftsmanship go hand in hand. Proudly Canadian, our design process is deeply rooted in our Montreal heritage, reflecting the city's vibrant culture and dedication to quality. Some of the production happens in our Hong Kong office, but final touches and quality control always come back home to Montreal, where every piece gets the care it deserves. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Our team has spent decades perfecting the art of working with pearls. The result? Jewelry that's as refined as it is wearable, with attention to every detail. Q: Is there a 'hero' piece in the collection? A: Our bestselling studs are always a crowd favourite — effortless, timeless and essential. But the real standout? The Helen Choker. A structured take on the classic strand, it blends bold energy with refined polish. It's the kind of piece that doesn't just complete an outfit, it makes it. Q: What's the price range? A: We believe real pearl jewelry should be within reach. Our sterling silver pieces start around $100, while designs in solid gold or featuring statement pearls range higher. Most of our collection sits between $100 and $500. This range not only makes our jewelry accessible, but also ideal for those looking for thoughtful gifts. Q: Where can people learn more?
