Our Story

The merla, or blackbird, is a humble presence in our world. Familiar, understated, often blending into the background. Yet when it sings, its voice is unmistakable—rich, unique, and impossible to ignore. The blackbird reminds us that every one of us carries a song within, waiting to be heard.

At Merla Jewellery, we believe beauty comes in many forms. Bold or delicate, classic or modern—there is no single way to shine. Our philosophy is simple: explore within, shine without.

Each piece of Merla Jewellery is designed to celebrate individuality. With freshwater pearls and timeless details, our creations adapt to different styles and stories, becoming expressions of the wearer’s inner light. Like the blackbird, we invite you to find your own voice—whether soft or strong, subtle or striking—and let it resonate in the world.

Merla Jewellery – explore within, shine without.

Learn about our pearls

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.
