Behind the Scenes: How We Create Our Pearl Jewelry Collection

At Célestes Jewelry, every piece we design is a labor of love—a collaboration between our designers, skilled artisans, and trusted suppliers. From the moment we sketch an idea to the final handcrafted piece, our goal is to bring you timeless, high-quality pearl jewelry that blends elegance with modern style. Here’s a peek behind the scenes at how we create some of your favorite pieces, like our baroque pearl necklaces, freshwater pearl earrings, and pink pearl necklaces.

Step 1: Designing the Perfect Pearl Piece

It all starts with an idea. Whether it’s a delicate freshwater pearl necklace or a bold baroque pearl necklace, our design team carefully selects each element—considering shape, size, and luster. We love working with freshwater pearls because of their versatility and organic beauty. They allow us to create pearl jewelry sets that feel unique yet timeless.

Step 2: Sourcing the Finest Pearls

Finding the right pearls is just as important as the design itself. We work closely with our trusted suppliers in Zhuji, China—the world’s largest freshwater pearl hub—to source high-quality freshwater pearls in various shades, including classic white, soft pink, and shimmering lavender.

For our pink pearl necklaces, we handpick pearls with natural blush tones that radiate warmth and elegance. For our Keshi pearl necklaces, we embrace the organic, irregular shapes that make each piece truly one of a kind.

Step 3: Handcrafting the Jewelry

Once the pearls are selected, our artisans bring the designs to life. Every piece, from freshwater pearl earrings to intricate pearl jewelry sets, is carefully handcrafted, ensuring the perfect balance of elegance and durability. We use 18K gold and sterling silver settings to enhance the beauty of each pearl, making them suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

Beyond working with pearls, we also develop our own custom jewelry components to bring our designs to life. For example, our Cœur Brillant Collection features heart-shaped pendants, earrings, and beaded elements that we personally designed and produced through custom mold-making. We love experimenting with new combinations, and it’s always exciting to introduce fresh design concepts into our collections.

Step 4: Bringing It to You

Once the jewelry is complete, we carefully inspect every detail to ensure it meets our high standards. Whether you’re looking for a statement baroque pearl necklace or a dainty freshwater pearl necklace, our goal is to deliver pieces that feel special from the moment you unbox them.

Looking ahead, we’re also working on developing freshwater pearl jewelry in a wider range of natural colors, such as purple pearls, tahitian pearls, akoya pearls, etc., so you’ll soon have even more beautiful options to choose from. We love exploring the unique shades that pearls naturally offer and finding new ways to highlight their beauty in modern, wearable designs.

At Celestes Jewelry, we believe that pearls are more than just accessories—they're stories of craftsmanship, nature, and timeless beauty. Whether you’re drawn to the soft glow of a pink pearl necklace or the bold charm of a baroque pearl piece, every design carries a piece of our journey—from sketch to creation, from artisan to you.
