I worked with Navy Exchange selling to the VIth fleet for four years, visiting ships in Haifa, Israel; Trieste, Italy; Corfu, Greece; and all the Spanish ports:  Rota, Malaga, Cartagena, Tarragona, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca - great times and you bought lots of Orquidea pearls. for which I thank you.

Orquidea pearls are gems comparable to the most beautiful of natural pearls and this jewellery is sold in the finest retail establishments throughout the world.  Orquidea uses natural products to produce pearls and it is, therefore, very difficult to distinguish them from natural pearls.  Orquidea pearls are recognized to be the very finest Majorcan pearl product and are prized by discerning, fashion - conscious women everywhere.  Each strand, earring, bracelet and pin is registered with its own specific number and is sold with an international ten-year guarantee.

Purchasing via this Internet web page works the same way - but now:  wives, daughters, aunts, sisters, sisters-in-law, mothers, grandmothers can all look, amplify the pictures and choose for yourselves.  If you have purchases from Orquidea, Spain already, we can easily match the pearl sizes and perhaps the clasps.  The modern quality is even better than before - I still sell direct from source - and the guarantees insure total satisfaction for ten full years from the date of purchase.

For those "first time purchasers" I give you a description of the
exclusive quality of these pearls and explain the international 10-year guarantees:

"Pearls come into being from something minute - a simple grain of sand, but after a labour -intensive process, they become objects that contain all the magnificent splendour of the depths of the sea. 

Today a natural pearl is very rare and if obtainable can be very expensive.  Natural pearls result from an irritant (generally sand) accidentally penetrating an oyster.  Layers of protection called nacre are deposited around the irritant over many years.  The result is a marvellous product of nature, a luminous and iridescent gem.

I can supply Cultured Pearls quite easily.  The process is the same
as in the creation of natural pearls except that man injects the irritant
- so each oyster is known to be producing a pearl.  The pearl growing in the oyster is cultivated on a "farm" and is subject to the economic needs of the cultivator.  As a result, all too often, cultured pearls are prematurely "harvested".  Inferior, thin-skinned pearls result and the value of some cultured pearls has gone down.

The majority of the pearls that PWW supply are those from Orquidea, Mallorca, Spain.  Each item of our jewellery is the final result of a process involving dozens of specialists who oversee, with expert eyes, every step in the production chain, the end result being a perfect object.  These Orquidea pearls are crafted in the same method used by oysters.  Layers of nacre are added, layer by layer.     

A simulated pearl starts out as an opaline crystal nucleus dipped many times in a secret formula composed of marine products similar to nacre generated by the oyster and each stage of the layer application process plays a vital part in the evolution of the pearl.  Layer after layer is patiently treated.   Slowly but surely, what started out being a crystal, is now on its way to becoming an iridescent Orquidea pearl. The Orquidea pearls are then polished, carefully inspected and utilized in the lovely Orquidea pearl jewellery for which Orquidea is famous.

This special process enables these pearls to be superior to natural ones and other cultivated pearls because they are less prone to deterioration which can be caused by perfume, make-up, nail varnish and perspiration. They should just be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and warm water to remove any particles which could cause damage to the Orquidea pearls. 

Thus the Orquidea pearl is so magnificent - with its shimmering, rainbow coloring - that it has been said that it actually surpasses nature and we know we are quite safe when we offer a 10-year, worldwide guarantee for these Orquidea pearls - something we cannot do for the natural or the cultivated pearls that we supply.  The international guarantee certificate ensures the free replacement of any defective pearl. 

When you choose an item of Orquidea jewellery, you know that it will be perfect and that it will last for many years.

A string of pearls can, of course, be worn on its own but this string is vastly enhanced by ear rings including pearls of matching size. A bracelet, a ring and a pin / brooch make a complete set.  Follow the instructions and have fun filling your private shopping basket. 

I am available via email to give advice if you require it.   Tell me your build, height and weight and I can tell you the mm size of Orquidea pearl you should select and advise you if your selections should not "gel" together. 

Payment is effected by bank transfer or Visa card or similar.  Your goods will be sent by UPS direct to your door.

Get in touch!  I love selling pearls and making all you ladies lovlier and happy
