Jersey Pearl The Pearl Experts Since the Jersey Pearl family started the business 27 years ago, the pearl industry has seen huge developments both in terms of its levels of production, as well as the styles and colours now available on the market.

Freshwater pearls, which are grown in large mussels, are naturally found in shades ranging from warm white through to blush pink and pale

purple,

nowadays

however these natural gems are also being dyed after harvesting to create the most fantastic range of rainbow colours,

from

peppermint

green and midnight blue

As well as sourcing pearls directly from the Pearl farms in the Far East, Jersey Pearl also has an in-house design team that are regularly working on new designs and collections.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary three new collections were introduced in the range for 2010. The Lily Collection delicate rose ehite freshwater pearls have been used to create this elegant and feminine range.

The Alice Collection - working with the ever-popular natural coloured freshwater button pearls, this collection set on silver is ideally suited for those looking to start their love affair with pearls!

Jersey Pearl also introduced their Freshwater Pearl Charm Collection - using the Jersey shoreline as inspiration, this collection was exclusively design for Jersey Pearl and has charms ranging from beautifully crafted lobster, starfish and oyster shell designs to a map of Jersey - the perfect memento of a visit to our wonderful island.

through to hot fuchsia pink and honey yellow.

Within the last decade there has also been expansion within the shape of the freshwater pearl - traditionally round, oval or pear-drop shape, the farms in China, where the majority of the Freshwater pearls are grown, are now able to create irregular and unusual shaped pearls such as the Keshi pearl - which is commonly described as the cornflake pearl as well as the Biwa pearl, a delicate and elegant long stick shape.

Jersey Pearl has always worked very closely with their suppliers all around the world, making sure that it is only the highest quality pearls that reach the shop floor.

Beach Lifeguards in Jersey A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask.
