Ethical Sourcing

• Environmental Stewardship: Healthy oysters need pristine water, so ethical farms maintain clean lagoons, acting as natural filters, promoting marine health, and avoiding harmful chemicals or over-harvesting.
• Community & Social Impact: Supports coastal economies, provides jobs, fair wages, and empowers local artisans, fostering cultural heritage.
• Animal Welfare: While oysters lack complex nervous systems, ethical practices focus on minimizing stress, ensuring oyster well-being, and preventing habitat destruction.

How to test if it’s Real Pearl?

• Tooth Test: Gently rub the pearl against the front of your tooth. Real pearls feel gritty (like fine sandpaper) due to layers of nacre, while fakes feel smooth and slippery.
• Temperature Test: Real pearls feel cool to the touch initially and warm up as you wear them; fakes stay at room temperature.
• Weight Test: Authentic pearls often feel heavier and denser than imitation ones, which are often plastic.
• Rubbing Test: Rub two pearls together; real ones will create a gritty feel and sometimes a fine powder, while fakes glide smoothly. 

• Look for Irregularities: Perfectly round pearls are rare in nature. Real pearls have slight bumps, ridges, or variations in shape, while fakes are often too uniform.
• Examine Luster: Real pearls have a deep, soft glow (luster) with depth. Fakes often have an overly shiny, metallic, or painted-on look with shallow shine.
