Audrey Hepburn, the epitome of style, elegance and humanitarian compassion.

Although she never had her ears pierced, she inspired us to create a pair of pearl drop earrings, similar to the ones she is wearing in this stunning photograph from 1954

Armistice Day, 11th November 1918. The day the world had been waiting for for 4 long years...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Armistice Day is commemorated every year on the 11th November, to mark the armistice which was signed at Compiègne, France on the 11th November 1918 at 5.45am between the Allies of World War I and Germany and which took effect at 11am that same morning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey, made from Belgian black marble stone, are engraved, with brass from melted down wartime ammunition, the following moving words, composed by Herbert Edward Ryle, Dean of Westminster:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Beneath this stone rests the body
Of a British Warrior
Unknown by name or rank
Brought from France to lie among
The most illustrious of the Land
And buried here on Armistice Day
11 Nov 1920 in the presence of
His Majesty King George V
His Minsters of State
The Chiefs of his Forces
And a vast concourse of the Nation
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thus are commemorated the many
Multitudes who during the Great
War of 1914-1918 gave the most that
Man can give Life itself
For God
For King and Country
For loved ones home and Empire
For the sacred cause of Justice and
The freedom of the World
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They buried him among Kings because he
Had done good toward God and toward
His house”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lest we Forget...

The Princess of Wales wears Queen Elizabeth lI’s

The Princess of Wales wears Queen Elizabeth lI’s Bahrain pearl drop earrings to Remembrance Sunday.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the wedding gifts received by Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in 1947 was a pearl shell containing 7 large pearls from the ruler of Bahrain at the time. According to the Royal Collection, 2 of these pearls were used not long after to create this pair of earrings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The earrings each contain one large round diamond and four smaller ones, three baguette diamonds and a Bahrain pearl dangling below. The then Princess wore them on her 1951 tour of Canada and later for one of her first Official Portraits as Queen. While they were not prominently worn for a few decades, the Queen notably wore her Bahrain pearl earrings at the Festival of Remembrance in 2015.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Catherine, the Princess of Wales has worn these earrings on several occasions and inspired us to create a similar pair, with a large drop pearl and cubic zirconia.

We were asked to create a capsule collection of Mesopotamian and Roman style pieces, based on originals in the Louvre itself, and here they are, beautifully displayed in their stunning shop.

The Real Pearl Co. FAQ - What is a pearl? 🤔⁠

The Real Pearl Co. FAQ - What is a pearl? 🤔⁠
⁠
A pearl is formed when a tiny intruder, such as a parasite or a piece of grit lodges itself inside an oyster.
⁠
Oysters that produce pearls are much larger than the ones most people are familiar with, and most are non-edible.⁠
⁠
If the oyster cannot get rid of the intruder, it starts to produce a substance called nacre, to soothe the irritation the intruder causes. ⁠
⁠
What we know as a pearl is the build up of layer after layer of nacre, enveloping the intruder. Nacre is the same substance that forms the lining within the shell.⁠
