At Merla, our creations are crafted primarily with freshwater pearls — known for their soft luster and natural diversity. We work with both nucleated and non-nucleated pearls, each bringing its own beauty and uniqueness to our designs.
Nucleated Pearls
Nucleated pearls are cultivated with a small core placed inside the mussel, allowing for more controlled and distinctive shapes. These include:
Star – playful and unique, symbolizing individuality
Long Stick – elegant and modern, perfect for statement designs
Non-Nucleated Pearls
Non-nucleated pearls form naturally without a core, resulting in organic, fluid shapes. These include:
Rice – classic and versatile
Button – smooth and timeless
Petal – delicate and romantic, resembling soft flower petals
Each pearl, whether nucleated or not, carries its own charm — reflecting nature’s artistry and the gentle craftsmanship at the heart of Merla.
