We purchased an 18" strand of cultured pearls for our daughter's college graduation. They are stunning — the gift box is beautiful and we aren't just giving a gift, we are giving a future heirloom.

I wore these Akoya pearls at my wedding and received more compliments on them than on anything else. The hand-knotting is immaculate. Worth every cent.

The custom design tool is brilliant. I mixed Tahitian peacock pearls with white Akoya and the result is unlike anything I've seen in a store. Shipped faster than expected.
