Few gems capture the mystic allure of the Siren's call as beautifully as the Conch Pearl, a particular gem that has deeply captivated me. These gems are truly rare, the probability of finding a conch pearl is about one in ten thousand to one in fifteen thousand1, only found in the waters of the Caribbean and Bermuda, and are seldom discovered in suitable quality and size for jewelry.
In ancient times, the conch shell held great symbolism for the Incas and many ancestral cultures, representing a symbolic means of communication with the gods. As Dickinson (1968) beautifully described, "Perhaps it is because, when held to the ear, the voice of the god of the sea murmurs through it." Although there is no specific reference in literature to "pearls" obtained from the Conch, it is reasonable to believe that they were discovered and used in jewelry alongside the iridescent pearls.
It is a true honor to present to you this exquisite Conch Pearls, discovered in the coastal waters of Puerto Rico. These pearls possess a unique beauty and are deeply connected to the enchanting allure of the sea captivating the charm of "The Siren's Call.”

Chocolate-colored conch pearls are the rarest, followed by white, while conch pearls that are yellowish brown are often referred to as golden. The most valuable conch pearls by a long way are the pinks. These range from very pale pink to salmon pink and even a pink that is so intense it is referred to as red. Most coveted of all are the brilliant pink conch pearls.
