Pearls can be categorised into two types: natural and cultured. Natural pearls are extremely rare and formed organically in the wild, making them highly prized by collectors. On the other hand, cultured pearls are cultivated with human intervention, ensuring a more accessible supply for everyone to enjoy.
Within both pearl categories, we find both freshwater and saltwater varieties. Freshwater pearls are known for their versatility and are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours. Saltwater pearls, such as Akoya and South Seapearls, are renowned for their exceptional lustre.
