How does the process of DIY pearl jewelry making work?

The process is simple and rewarding! First, you pick a mussel from our selection. Next, you carefully open the mussel to reveal the pearls inside. After extracting the pearls, they’ll going to a polishing machine to be gently polished to enhance their natural luster. Then, you can select the jewelry piece on which you’d like to showcase your pearls from our range of options. Once your pearls are ready, our team will expertly assemble them onto the jewelry piece you’ve chosen. Finally, we’ll carefully pack everything up and any remaining pearls can be kept as precious mementos.

What types of pearls do you offer for DIY jewelry making, and how can I choose the right ones for my project?

We offer a wide variety of pearl mussels, including Baroque, Weirdo, Edison, and Classic pearls, each with its unique characteristics. To choose the right pearls for your project, consider factors like amount, size, shape, color, and luster, depending on your design and personal preferences. Our experts are here to guide you through the selection process!

What if I don’t get any pearls in my mussel?

We understand that pearl cultivation can be unpredictable, and not every mussel will yield a pearl. In such cases, don’t worry! If your mussel doesn’t contain a pearl, we’ll be happy to provide you with another one. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we want to ensure you have the best DIY pearl jewelry-making experience possible.
