With each individual piece of our jewellery finished by hand, using the most premium quality materials and with over twenty-five years’ experience within the pearl industry. This ensures that only the highest quality pearls are cultivated and sold through us. To top this off, our pearl experts have undertaken the internationally recognised Gemological Institute of America’s Pearl Grading program. Through this program our pearl experts are trained in the art of identifying the beauty, value and quality of genuine pearls.

Moreover, the industry is frequently associated with precarious labour conditions. Workers often face long hours, low wages, and hazardous working conditions. For these reasons, the ethical and sustainable sourcing of freshwater pearls is crucial to the health of both the environment and the communities involved in their production. Kyoto Pearl's Commitment to Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing The cultivation of freshwater pearls involves a delicate balance of natural and human resources. Pearl farming, primarily carried out in China, involves the insertion of a small piece of mantle tissue into a mollusc's shell. This 'nucleation' stimulates the mollusc to secrete nacre, a lustrous substance that gradually forms a pearl.Kyoto Pearl's approach represents a promising model for the future of the freshwater pearl industry. By prioritising ethical and sustainable sourcing, companies can contribute to the preservation of fragile ecosystems, the well-being of workers, and the overall integrity of the jewellery industry.

Established in London, in 1992; Kyoto Pearl’s identity is about connecting women from around the world with classic, affordable and genuine freshwater pearl jewellery.One of the things that sets Kyoto Pearl apart from other jewellery companies is their commitment to accessibility. They believe that freshwater pearl jewellery should be available to everyone, and they strive to create pieces that are both affordable and of the highest quality. While this process does not inherently harm the mollusc or the surrounding environment, the scale of pearl farming operations can lead to significant ecological challenges. These include overfarming, the release of pollutants into waterways, and the displacement of local fauna.
