Pearls need no introduction. They're an age old gemstone, loved for thousands of years. Though what's so special about them?
Our answer may surprise you.
We see pearls differently here at Quin & Fern than most.
These gems are usually portrayed as symbols of innocence, purity and elegance, which is a beautiful sentiment.
Though for us? They're tangible symbols of something else entirely.
The history of pearls is spattered with stories of the extraordinary. The people who found them. The people who revolutionised the jewellery industry to make them accessible to all.
And so, quite far from their image of innocence and purity? To us they represent the changemakers. The ones who tear down barriers. And defy all odds. With the skill and dedication to achieve what others tell them is impossible.
The fact that pearls endure today is a testament to the power of determination and perseverance.
The fact they exist at all today is proof that nothing is impossible.
