Perfect match, perfect pearls



Trust Jewelmer’s expertise to help you find your exquisite pair of classic pearl earrings

You’ll know it when you see it: that perfect match. Like two halves of a whole, they complete each other. When you wear them, they bring out your inner glow. That’s the magic of a perfectly matched pair of Jewelmer’s classic Palawan South Sea pearl earrings.

Of the tens of thousands of pearls that Jewelmer harvests, no two pearls are alike. A pearl is a gift from nature that is shaped by the environment where it is grown. Upon its lustrous surface, every change in tide and temperature and every impurity is recorded, which is why these perfect pearls can only be cultivated in the rich, pristine environment of Palawan. The results are pearls that possess a thick, rich golden nacre, with a luster that can last a lifetime.

In order to make that perfect match, an expert eye for pearls is required—much like that of Jewelmer’s Master Pearl Graders. Master Graders are pearl “matchmakers” whose years of experience enable them to find pearls that are perfect for each other—and for you.

First, they sort each pearl according to the five value factors: size, shape, color, luster, and skin purity. This process is called “Grading.” Next, they sort through the graded pearls a second or even a third time to find matching pearls that can be set into a pair of classic pearl earrings.

“It takes a minimum of four years to earn the title ‘Master Grader’,” says Abelardo Mondoñedo, Jewelmer’s Senior Sales Manager. A veteran with over 20 years of experience in pearl grading, Mondoñedo says that it takes a special discipline to grade and match pearls. “One has to be focused and patient,” he adds.

A Master Grader can match up to 50 pairs of classic Palawan South Sea pearl earrings on a good day. “The challenge is to work with each pearl harvest, to consistently find the best match possible for each pearl.” Mondoñedo shares.

Each perfectly matched pair of pearls is then set by hand with18-karat gold by Jewelmer’s skilled craftsmen. The result is a beautifully set pair of classic Palawan South Sea pearl earrings.

One of the foundations of Jewelmer’s Les Essentielles collection, classic pearl earrings are a must for every woman’s pearl collection. This simplest of designs allows the pearl to enhance your natural glow whatever the occasion.
