Our Mother’s Final Wish

After 60 years, our family must say goodbye

Following the loss of our beloved founder and mother, we are honouring her wish by releasing our final hand-dived pearl collection at cost price.

For 60 years and three generations, pearl farming has shaped our family and our lives. We learned to work with the rhythm of the lagoon, to wait patiently and to understand that something beautiful can never be rushed.

Recently, we lost our founder and beloved mother. Her generosity guided everything we built. She was the heart of our family—the person who held us together through difficult harvests, uncertain seasons and all the quiet moments in between.

She spent her final evening in the place she loved most. Resting in a hammock beside the lagoon, she looked out across the water that had shaped so much of our family’s life. That night, she passed peacefully in her sleep.

Without her, the farm no longer feels the same. Continuing as though nothing had changed would not feel honest. We knew that a chapter which had defined our family for most of our lives had reached its end.

“These pearls are among the final pieces of a story our family spent a lifetime creating together.”

Her wish was to give something back to the people who supported our family throughout this journey. She wanted the final pearls to be worn, loved and carried into new stories—not left behind and forgotten.

To honour her, we are releasing our final hand-dived pearl collection at cost price, with up to 70% off.

The Hardest Goodbye

For us, these are not simply pieces of jewellery. They are the final pearls from work we shared as a family, and a connection to someone we miss every day.

Every remaining piece carries its own natural colour, shape and character. No two are completely alike—just as no two memories are ever the same.

Once the remaining pieces are gone, there will be no restock. This chapter will close forever. But through every pearl that finds a new home, a small part of her story can continue.
