Galatea Pearl

When an oyster swallows a grain of sand it feels the discomfort, so it begins to ease the pain by applying a coat of nacre (pearl). It is during this healing process that it creates a beautiful pearl. It is rather ironic to think that something so beautiful can be created from so much discomfort. This is like life itself. It is easy to love in good times but it takes courage to love through the discomforts of our lives. The color gem represents the grain of sand and the pearl evokes an aura of courage, love and healing. It is this unique transformation that has given birth to Galatea the Symbol of Love.

Galaxia Silver and Gold

Like the stars and interstellar particles that make up a galaxy, the Galaxia™ from Galatea sparkles with its own galaxy of lab-grown diamond druzy. This spectacular jewelry features a patent-pending bonding process that allows hundreds of the tiny, dazzling particles to permanently adhere to pearls and precious metals, creating all the sparkle and brilliance of traditionally set gemstones. With each piece of Galaxia jewelry, thousands of lab-grown "baby diamonds," set without using glue or prongs, sparkle and dance in the light. It's a new kind of invisible setting for these extremely small particles, and it's taken years for Galatea to harness a way to unleash their beauty.

King Pearls

A Pearl Designed For A King

I began to carve pearls over 10 years ago. It was an act creativity, a conscious decision to take one of nature’s most beautiful gems and carve it, touching each with the hand of the artist.

It was a revolutionary act. Not everyone was happy with what I did—especially those people who liked things done the way they’ve always been done. I treat each pearl like a canvas or a piece of clay and set out to create something bold, something beautiful, something unique. I believe I have accomplished this with our new “King Pearl” Collection.

Inside of every one of us is the desire to be free to act, to be free to think, love and express ourselves. For me, the act of carving a pearl is about more than just creating a beautiful piece of jewelry. It is about unleashing the creative spirit and, in doing so, creating a symbol of originality and individualism.

Galatea King Pearls are made for those of us who are not afraid, as Joseph Campbell once wrote, “to stand before the forest and enter the darkest place.”

Wear these beautiful pearls in the spirit of love, creativity and harmony with which they were created. And enjoy….
