Delicate meandering waves of diamonds, reminiscent of sea foam against the shoreline are contrasted by precious yellow gold, a poetic interpretation of where land meets the sea.

Nurtured by Pristine Waters of Palawan
Palawan, the last ecological frontier of the Philippines, is where the gold-lipped Pinctada maxima pearl oysters of Jewelmer’s pearl farms thrive in a vibrant marine ecosystem. Within them grow cultured pearls of rich, natural and deep golden colours; the centre point of each Jewelmer piece.
South Sea pearls come in a range of colours, from white to gold, with endless shades in between and a variety of overtones. Other prominent South Sea pearl-producing countries include Australia, Indonesia and Myanmar.
However, The exceptional golden hue is characteristic of South Sea pearls produced in the Philippines.
Considered the national gem of the nation, the golden South Sea pearl shares its story through its development.
The layers of Mother-of-Pearl that envelop a nucleus bead, carefully placed into the pearl oyster, reflects the vitality of the ocean and the craftsmanship of Jewelmer’s pearl technicians.
It takes 377 steps over 5 years to produce a single pearl, and yet Mother Nature will still determine the final creation. This is a testament of the brand’s harmonious co-existence with the natural world.
Jewelmer pearls are of true luxury.
