A passion for pearls at Kultura

-

As gifts from the sea, pearls have taken on magical and mystical qualities through the ages. According to a poetic tradition, water merges with moonlight to form the beauty of pearls, and these smooth and lustrous gemstones speak a secret language directly to the individual. It is said that no one can resist their charm.

As an island country, our seas have made the Philippine­s rich in pearls, which are showcased in Kultura stores. Highlighti­ng uniquely Filipino jewelry designs, the Kultura collection best reflects the country’s rich selection of pearls, from freshwater to South Sea.

Freshwater pearls come in a variety of shapes and colors; irregularl­y shaped baroque pearls that are versatile enough for just about any outfit; and luxe South Sea pearls, the rarest type of pearl. And don’t overlook cultured and mother-of-pearl pieces that can be transforme­d into exquisite designs.

Wearing pearls is a bold statement, whether it’s a short or long strand of pearls, a classic pearl necklace, an exquisite bracelet, or a pretty pendant. Pearls are in style for every season, and are as popular today as they were a hundred years ago.

Uniquely Filipino Pearl Collection­s are available at Kultura in SM Makati, Megamall, Mall of Asia, SM Aura Premier, SM City Cebu, SM Seaside, SM Lanang Premier and the newly opened Kultura at The Podium and at most SM Stores. Its boutiques are located at Taal Vista Hotel, Pico de Loro, Molo Mansion Iloilo. Visit www.kulturafil­ipino.com to discover more about Kultura.
