FAQs
What types of pearls do you use in your jewelry?
Our pearl atelier works with a wide range of natural and cultured pearls sourced from around the world, including South Sea, Tahitian, Akoya, and freshwater varieties. Each pearl is personally selected for its luster, shape, and color, so every piece reflects the quality our clients expect.
Can I request a custom or bespoke design?
Yes. Custom design is one of the cornerstones of our pearl boutique. Whether you’re reimagining an heirloom, sourcing a specific pearl, or starting from a fresh idea, our team will work with you from concept through completion to create a piece made just for you.
How do I determine my correct ring or necklace size?
Our staff is happy to help you find the right fit in person during a visit to our Harbor Springs pearl jewelry store. If you can’t make it in, contact us directly and we’ll walk you through simple ways to measure before your purchase or custom order.
How should I care for and store my pearl jewelry?
Pearls are delicate organic gems, so it’s best to put them on last when dressing and remove them first, avoiding contact with perfume, lotion, and hairspray. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching, and let our pearl atelier team know if you’d ever like a piece professionally cleaned or restrung. Best to not store pearls in leather or suede boxes or pouches since the tannic acid in curing the leather can irreparably damage the luster of a pearl’s nacre.
