About Art of Pearl
Art of Pearl transforms traditional pearls into extraordinary works of art. By blending painting techniques with traditional Japanese craftsmanship such as kumiki (braided wood), inlaying, and meticulous drilling, Laverité creates one-of-a-kind pieces that are as unique as the individuals who wear them. Each pearl is a canvas, capturing East-West cultural harmony through innovative artistry.
Since its founding in 1997, Laverité Ltd. has been a trailblazer in redefining the value of pearls. From embracing baroque pearls to pioneering collaborations with artists worldwide, they bring pearls to life with a modern sensibility and timeless beauty.
