Galatea Pearl
Patented Process

The Galatea Pearl is the world's only cultured pearl with a brilliant gemstone center, hand carved to let the gem's color shine through.

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. This is like life itself. It is easy to love in good times, but it takes courage to love through the discomfort of our lives. The gemstone represents the grain of sand, the beauty inside evoking an aura of love, courage and healing. It is this unique transformation that has given birth to the "Galatea Pearl" the symbol of love.
Diamond in a Pearl Collection
                                                The Symbol of Love

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 out of so much discomfort. This is like life itself. It is easy to love in good times, but it takes courage to love through the discomfort of our lives. The diamond represents the grain of sand and the pearl evokes an aura of courage, love, and healing that is embedded deep within the soul. It is this unique transformation that has given birth to "Diamond in a Pearl, " the symbol of love.

Love has the power to heal all wounds,
love defines our existence,
love is a Diamond in a Pearl
"Davinchi Cut"

"Be a mirror, absorb everything around
you and still remain the same."

                  Leonardo Da Vinci

When I was in high school sitting in the library reading the notebooks of of Leonardo Da Vinci, I came across a quote I will always remember. He said, "Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same." As an artist, I believe in and can relate to this philosophy, I learn as much as I can about the environment around me but still remain original, honest and true to my existence. Today, I have created a new cut for gemstones called the "Davinchi Cut" which has the ability to absorb colors, light or images into the gem. This magical illusion makes the gem change colors in different angles and points of view. There is a wonderful depth of field within the gem, I find it is difficult to fix my eyes on one focus point. This is why the stone has the sense of liveliness, a constant changing in color and texture. I hope you will enjoy this gem. Allow yourself to absorb all things around yet still remain the way you are. The "Davinchi Cut" is also available in diamond which makes a white diamond change into red, yellow, green, blue or any color in the spectrum or a mixture of multiple colors without altering its natural composition.
