Our pearls are produced in the saline environment. We use cultured pearls from the estuary where salt and freshwater meet and mix. Estuaries are among the most productive of earth’s ecosystems. Oysters require a certain level of health in their habitat for survival.

Salinity (the amount of salt dissolved in water) effects on the quality of the pearls. Considering all the facts on the requirements for producing pearls, the estuary in Mauritius is ideal as oyster habitat and a pearl farm.

2. Scarcity

Mauritian pearls cultured in estuary are more valuable than ordinary freshwater pearls because the oysters in estuary typically produce only one pearl at a time, multiple pearls with a very low chance. On the other hand, freshwater oysters can produce up to 30 pearls at a time.

Unlike these inseminated pearls, our pearls are created by the same process as natural pearls. When a foreign irritant slips into the oyster the nacre (mother of pearl, the inner iridescent layer of shells) covers the irritant with layers of the same nacre material. This eventually creates a pearl.
