KOBU 'ALLEGRO' SAMANTHA EARBUD FRESHWATER PEARL

Kobu pearls, a sophisticated variety in the world of pearls, have an intriguing history dating back to the origins of these unique creations. The name "Kobu" is derived from the Japanese word for "pearl," and these special pearls are grown in the oyster Pinctada maxima, found mainly in the waters around Australia and the South Sea Islands.

Production of Kobu pearls began in the early years of the 20th century, when pearl breeding techniques were refined. The process of Kobu pearl formation involves implanting a nucleus, usually a piece of mantle tissue, into the oyster. What makes these pearls unique is the fact that they have a special halo of light, often in soft hues such as silver, cream and pink. These brilliant hues are the result of the specific environment in which the oysters thrive and the unique composition of the water in which they are grown.

Over the years, Kobu pearls have earned a reputation as a symbol of elegance and luxury. The combination of their rarity, natural beauty and the complexity of the breeding process makes Kobu pearls highly sought after in the world of high-end jewelry. The history of Kobu pearls reflects not only technological advances in pearl farming, but also reverence for the natural wonders the oceans have to offer. To wear Kobu pearls is not only to embrace a piece of history, but also to cherish the timeless beauty that emerges from the depths of the sea.
