Robert Wan’s cultured pearls
The inventor of the Tahitian pearl
Acquiring a Robert Wan piece of jewellery is choosing extremely high-quality pieces with pearls considered among the most beautiful in the world. Renowned worldwide, the Tahitian pearl has been harvested for more than 30 years off the Pacific atolls. Since the adventure began in the 1970s, the Tahitian pearl has conquered its stripes as a gemstone certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), like the most significant precious stones.
Pearls of dazzling purity
Harvested in water without a trace of pollution in which natural deposits and Pinctada Margaritifera oyster farms are located, the pearls chosen by Robert Wan for the design of his jewellery ranges benefit from two significant advantages:
- perfect lustre for incredible shine and superb light surface reflection;
- new colours: while the black pearl constitutes the majority of crops, other varieties are characterised by grey shades or shades ranging from white to darker cream colours. A name has even been given to these variations: Cherry, Peacock, Blue, Tahitian Gold, Tahitian Silver, Tahitian Cooper, etc.
Women as inspiration
What is the style of Robert Wan’s jewellery? It seems preferable to speak of an artistic approach that pays homage to the woman in the most beautiful way to showcase her as best as possible. For this eternal lover, the woman is also a pearl.
Robert Wan has never hidden wanting to "offer the most beautiful, the pearl, the only living gem that can express itself differently depending on the light of the wearer." At Robert Wan, the jewel reveals the woman.
The creative aspect
Robert Wan also demonstrates a keen sense of creation as an expert in the art of choosing the most beautiful pearls in the world and uncompromising the purity of the material. He has surrounded himself with the most outstanding designers throughout his career to bring his brand international recognition.
Considering beauty is born from harmony, he regularly offers collections that catch the eye and elicit rave reviews. The pearl is always placed at the heart of his fertile imagination.
For this true esthete of life and this unconditional lover of nature, there is no need to cover a pearl with gold and diamonds to turn it into a gem. Creativity, purity, and quality are its main leitmotifs.
Treasures of the Islands
Like the Akila, Links of Love, Muse and Zoja series, the Robert Wan collections are immersed in a harmonious and soothing universe, where elements such as water, crystal and sand represent the richness and purity of lagoons and occupy a predominant place.
Its favourite colours are green (a symbol of renewal and youth) and white (representing purity and infinity).
Since 1974, there have been numerous prestigious successes for a world-renowned brand. In 2011, the collection of long necklaces, necklaces and rings, "Treasures of the Islands", in connection with the lagoons, the paradisiacal islands, and the luxuriant flora and fauna, had aroused admiration.
