What Makes Divine Pearls Unique?

Our designs, our pearls, our prices.

In the past we’ve found that beautiful and stylish pearl jewellery at a reasonable price was all but impossible to find.

Any pieces that we did love were priced at tens of thousands of dollars, which to say the least is not a sum that we’d want to spend on a piece of jewellery! But we didn’t want to compromise on style and quality, and settle for plastic chain-store duplications either.

Our collection offers the best of both worlds. We use only the highest quality, high luster freshwater pearls, strung together in stylish designs that are as unique as you are. Not to mention the perfect price tag.

Browse our collection at your convenience.

Whether it’s during your lunch break or a night once everyone else is in bed, browse our online boutique 24/7. No more dragging the kids out shopping or having your partner tag along, you can order with us from the convenience of your own home, office or pretty much anywhere. Plus have delivery to your door the next working day.

No pushy sales people.

Something we dislike about shopping in general and particularly in jewellery stores is either the lack of service or overbearing shop assistants who seem to think you look amazing in everything!

Pressure to buy can be off-putting so we offer our jewellery exclusively online. Plus we offer top customer service so when you do need to speak with us we are here and happy to help.

Simple ordering.

Our easy to navigate website features high resolution images of every style and colour. You can order by bcoming a member or if you’d prefer you can proceed with your order and save time.

Free gift wrap and message.

All orders are gorgeously gift wrapped and delivered to your home or business address. For gifts, we can add a handwritten gift card with our compliments. Just add your gift message at check out. For gift suggestions, click here.

Pearls in History

Symbols of affluence, power and social standing, pearls have been highly prized throughout history for their beauty and purity.

No other gem has captivated people's fascination and admiration like the pearl. Pearls have been recognized as prized jewels for centuries longer than any cut stone. Almost all other gemstones are formed by mineral deposits that must be mined, cut, and polished to reveal their sparkling beauty. Pearls, however, are beautiful just as they are.

For centuries no one could explain how such an unremarkable creature as the oyster could produce such a perfectly formed jewel, and as a result the origin of the pearl became shrouded in myth and legend.

In Persian mythology, pearls were regarded as the tears of god. The ancient Chinese believed that these ‘jewels from the sea’ grew by the power of moonlight. Indians believed that pearls were created by a divine power that transformed drops of dew.

Jewellery fashioned from these lustrous gems has adorned some of the world’s most elegant women, from Cleopatra to Coco Chanel. Since the Chinese discovered cultivation methods, pearls have gone from rare gems worn only by royalty to modern fashion accessories.

From as early as the twenty-third century B.C., pearls have meant countless things to different people who have sought and gained them. No other gem has drawn so many men and women into its web of allure.

What are Pearls?

A Quirk of Nature

Despite their association with purity and natural perfection, pearls are actually a quirk of nature - a fortuitous by-product of the defense systems of both saltwater and freshwater mollusks. As a mollusk feeds, it draws a constant flow of water through its shell along with sand, parasites and other particles.

When a foreign object enters and cannot be expelled, the mollusk protects itself by sealing the intruder in a cocoon of conchiolin, a substance that neutralizes the irritant and triggers the production of nacre.

An aggrieved mollusk continues to cover the irritant with layers and layers of nacre until these layers harden to form a pearl. Light travelling through the overlapping layers of nacre is reflected and creates the prismatic rainbow effect that uniquely characterises a pearl’s outer appearance.

Cultured Pearls

When a pearl is born in this spontaneous fashion, it is known as a natural pearl, and natural pearls are extremely rare. Our love of pearls has driven mankind to assist nature in providing us with a greater abundance of them. Most pearls are now cultured which involves the process of implanting the mollusks with an irritant.

The miracle of nature is in its ability to never duplicate any of its creations. No two pearls, natural or cultured, are alike and each is as unique as the individual wearing them.
