The Best Kind of Gems

A new series with Allison M.

Pearls are not just a privilege to work with or own.  They consistently give us the privilege of getting to know great people all over the world who share our love.

We wouldn’t be able to make the memories of a lifetime without our friends in the pearl community. We’ve decided to dedicate a series of blog posts to some of our nearest and dearest.  So keep an eye out for upcoming blog posts where we’ll be featuring interviews with some of our friends who have fascinating stories to share about their own love affairs with pearls.

It’s become clear to us that what makes pearls even more valuable is the people these gems attract, and the friendships we’ve formed.  It’s definitely something to celebrate, and luckily there have been so many reasons to get together and enjoy each others' company over the past few years - not that we always need a reason!

Nevertheless, we’ve gotten to eat, drink, dance, and make merry in some of California’s most beautiful locations with some of our favorite pearl people.

The annual Pearl Ruckus is always a sumptuous event, with hours to relax, compare and discuss all things pearl over the eagerly-awaited caviar spread (one of our favorite Pearl Paradise traditions) with our friends from the Pearl-Guide.com forum community.

We have been getting together with our pearl friends every summer since 2009!

In 2012, our friends and staff adjourned to an estate in Malibu to do just that.

Great food!

Great friends!

That sure seemed hard to top, but the ultimate ruckus turned out to be Jeremy and Hisano’s wedding in 2013. Friends and family gathered next to a sparkling ocean to watch the couple exchange vows.

Guests were then were transported to a breathtakingly picturesque barn, where the celebration stretched long into the night.

We're looking forward to many more celebrations, pearls, and new friends.  Thanks for following us!
