Three Decades of 真珠 Expertise

The 南洋真珠 is a family business with over thirty 年 of direct experience in 養殖真珠 調達, grading, and デザイン. Our knowledge spans the three major saltwater 養殖真珠 categories — タヒチ, 南洋, and アコヤ — and our relationships with 真珠 養殖場 in フランス領ポリネシア, オーストラリア, the フィリピン, インドネシア, and 日本 span multiple generations.

Direct 調達 from Mangareva and Marutea Atolls

Our family has maintained direct relationships with 真珠 farmers in フランス領ポリネシア for over thirty 年, particularly with 養殖場 in Mangareva and Marutea Atoll — two of the ほとんど prized lagoons for タヒチ真珠 cultivation due to their exceptional mineral-rich water that produces the deepest ピーコック and silver-ブルー オーバートーン.

この direct 関係 means we bypass conventional 卸売 チェーン. Our 真珠 travel from 貝 harvest to your jewelry without passing through multiple intermediaries — and we can 書類 the 専用の ラグーン of 産地 for 各 真珠 we sell.
