The Tahitian pearl’s mystic charm is at the centre of a new collection featuring Ariake Pearls – an innovative creation of legendary Tahitian pearl jeweller Robert Wan.

Ariake Pearls, which means The Intense Light, harmoniously blend intricate Japanese artistry with the iridescent colours of Tahitian pearls. Wan, known in the trade as the Emperor of Tahitian Pearls, is introducing a radiant new collection centred on Ariake Pearls.

“This collection showcases a seamless fusion of art and jewellery where each piece is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Wan’s visionary approach elevates the allure of Tahitian pearls to unprecedented elegance,” revealed the Tahitian Pearl Association Hong Kong.

The special method involves using a fine brush to paint the gem with pure 24-karat gold or silver powder. It takes an entire week to achieve the unique patterns on the Ariake Pearls, which the company said can reach a resistance of 5 on the Mohs scale after three years, according to Robert Wan. 

A renowned Tahitian pearl jeweller, Robert Wan is celebrating its 50th founding anniversary in 2023.
