History and Origin
Poe Pipi pearls are formed by the Pinctada maculata, a bivalve mollusk found in the Pacific lagoons. These natural pearls, created without human intervention, are the result of Polynesian traditions passed down through generations. Harvesting techniques include the kakaro method, where divers open large shells underwater to reveal hidden pearls.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the brilliance of your natural pearls, gently clean your necklace with a soft cloth and avoid contact with chemicals. Store it in a dry place to protect its delicate nacre.
