INSIGHT 睿智角度 PEARL REPORT | 48 | 2024-2025 | Bernardette Sto. Domingo 杜明高 | The name Autore has become synonymous with radiant South Sea pearls and award-winning jewellery designs. And rightly so. Lovingly grown in the immaculate blue waters off Australia and Indonesia, Autore’s South Sea pearls are among the most coveted in the world. A testament to this is steady demand from clients across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the US alongside Hollywood celebrities adorning themselves with Autore’s stunning pearl jewellery pieces. The company is likewise making waves on the sustainability front. Robust trade South Sea pearls enjoyed solid market demand in 2023 and in the first half of 2024, revealed founder Rosario Autore. This is particularly true for white South Sea pearls, which are favoured for their incomparable lustre and nearperfect round shape. “The market’s appetite for white South Sea pearls has been extremely strong and prices have been steadily increasing,” he remarked. “This was evident in results of our auctions in 2023 and 2024.” About 90 per cent to 95 per cent of pearl lots offered at Autore’s auctions sell, notwithstanding business uncertainties, noted Rosario. This can be attributed to buyers’ unwavering fascination for top-quality South Sea pearls. The market’s growing penchant for novelty and individuality, meanwhile, is fuelling a great deal of interest in unconventional shapes such as baroque and keshi pearls, notably in Australia and China. Rosario explained, “We are a vertically integrated company and from our observation, all pearl shapes are moving. This demonstrates demand from our diverse clients and highlights their respective preferences and those of their end-consumer.” A leader in modern pearl cultivation, Autore is increasingly making its mark in research and development, pearl jewellery design and sustainability – further raising its profile in the global trade. 现代珍珠养殖业的领军企业 Autore，在研发、首饰设计和可持续发展方面崭露锋芒，其国际形象正不断提升。 Autore sustains edge in pearl business Autore在珍珠行业保持优势
