Thanks to the hard work, modern technology and careful control of the entire production chain, specialists create artificial pearls of the perfect color, the necessary reflux, brilliance, the right texture and high strength. For the birth of each pearl is the hard work of professionals. Creating one can take ten days, and maybe a month. The creation process is identical to what happens in the sink.

• It is important that the pearl should have a smooth smooth texture over the entire surface. No tiny turbidity, scratches, dents, chips is not allowed.
