Pearl Perspectives

Thank You!

During this Christmas season and as we approach the end of the year, it is fitting that we pause to reflect and to give thanks for the many blessings bestowed upon us. This past year has been remarkable for Imperial in so many ways. Eyris Pearls have been a tremendous success. We have been working very hard already in preparation for 2007.

It is a wonderful time to be involved with pearls When we sell pearls we look at the intrinsic beauty and luster of the pearls we are selling. The pearl is the only gem that is not ripped from the earth scaring its surface and damaging its ecosystem. Since antiquity, the pearl has been considered a gift from the gods. It provides sustenance to people of distant atolls and to the hard working employees of this company.

It is my hope for the coming year to help contribute to the appreciation the pearl and how it is unique among gems. To help our customers profit from the opportunities this gift from the Gods affords us all.

As the year comes to an end, the celebration of the holiday season is a time to reflect with our family, friends and loved ones.

The holiday season is also a time to celebrate personal or professional goals, whether large or small, that all of us were able to accomplish in the past year.

We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you...our dear and loyal friends with whom we share a past and our new friends who we welcome into the "Imperial Family".

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of our military men and women! May you all stay safe and return home healthy as soon as possible. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers each day.

Education

It is our belief an enhanced knowledge of the cultured pearl product category results in greater sales and an increased passion for pearls.

A Gift of The Gods

Woman with Pearls

When the first drop of rain fell from the clouds into the boundless blue ocean, it was so tiny that it was overwhelmed by the waves and cried out in alarm:

“How small and insignificant I am in this huge expanse!” And the billowing se answered:

“Your modesty does you credit, little drop o water, and you shall be rewarded. I will change you into drop of light — you will be the purest of all jewels, queen of all, and you will have power over women. “And so the peal was born....

Dr. Paul Bartsch of the National Museum, who is a specialist on pearls and pearl fisheries. looks at the future of pearls in 1910. In some ways he was right but some prodictions just never materilized. I seem there was never a conserted effort to cultivate pearls in the Americas
