Pearl

Natural Pearl Jewelry, Handmade in Japan

Explore TROZO's natural pearl necklaces, rings, ear cuffs and earrings — handmade in Japan from real pearl, chosen for its natural character rather than a uniform machine finish. Every piece is one of a kind.

Pearl is the one organic gem formed within a living shellfish. It is about 92% calcium carbonate (CaCO₃, as aragonite), 4–6% the organic protein conchiolin and 1–2% water. Microcrystalline aragonite layers and conchiolin stack into nacre, giving pearl’s interference luster, the “orient”. Soft at Mohs 2.5–4, it is among the world’s oldest gems, recorded from around 3200 BC in Egypt. In 1893 Kōkichi Mikimoto achieved the world’s first cultured half-pearl in Ise-Shima, and in 1907 the round-pearl method was established — making Japan the birthplace of cultured pearls. It is June’s birthstone.

TROZO sets each pearl so its natural colour and form lead the design — handmade in Japan, and no two pieces alike.
