AUTORE SOUTH SEA PEARLS: A TIMELESS GEMSTONE - SEPTEMBER 2022 NEWS

It’s no secret that pearls are amongst the most classic, sought-after gemstones. Retrieved from the depths of the bluest seas, they are transformed into elegant, timeless jewellery pieces. Although the beauty of the pearl has been praised for many centuries across the world, it was the 1950s that saw them rise in popularity as iconic Hollywood actresses were adorned with the lustrous gemstone.

Much alike diamonds, the quality of pearls can be defined by a range of specific criteria. In 2007, AUTORE launched their critically acclaimed pearl classification guide, The AUTORE Five S’s™. This renowned guide deciphers the value of a South Sea pearl through its shine, surface, shade, shape and size. Through their comprehensive classification guide, pearl-lovers can understand the various elements of their pearls and have full confidence in the value of AUTORE jewellery.
