Some things take years to become beautiful. A South Sea pearl is one of them, grown slowly, and chosen for you.

Inside a Perla pearl

The proof

Inside a Perla pearl

  1. South Sea and Tahitian pearls from Autore, judged on the Five S’s: shine, surface, shade, shape and size.

  2. Set in 18ct gold, or 9ct gold and sterling silver for everyday pieces, so the pearl is always the focus.

  3. Pearls from 9mm to 13mm. The larger the pearl, the rarer it is.

  4. Every 18ct gold piece comes with an Autore certificate.
