The South Sea pearl

The pearl is the world’s only organic and living gem that comes from a living creature, the oyster. Growing these pearls require years of care. Pearl farming helps cultivate the water conditions of the oyster’s habitat by protecting it from cyanide and dynamite fishing. Oysters can produce pearls only in pristine conditions, surrounded by life. Hence, pearl farmers are also conservationists whose job is to help clean the waters while patiently waiting for the pearls to form.

The pearl is also one of the best-loved gems of all time. It’s known as the Queen of Gems and the Gem of Queens as it was a gift to royalty or ruling classes being the ultimate status symbol. Both men and women wore pearls, and it’s believed that men were the first to wear them. Recently, there’s been a growing trend of male Hollywood celebrities sporting a strand of pearls. Singers and rappers like Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, Usher, Joe Jonas, Shawn Mendes, and fashion icon, Pharell Williams were all spotted wearing pearls on the red carpet. Aside from that, a pearl was the centerpiece of Emma Stone’s engagement ring considering it's a symbol of purity and innocence in other cultures.

Among all the pearls, the South Sea pearl is the largest and the rarest. This beautiful pearl is also the heart of most of our pieces. Each pearl is made in partnership with nature, and every piece is made uniquely. The irregularities they may possess distinctly differentiate one from the other, and validate their authenticity.

Our Materials

14k Gold

Pure gold is either formed as it is or mixed with alloy metals to produce more durable pieces of jewelry. Karats is used as a measurement of how much gold is present in the mixed metal, expressed in parts of 24. 24k gold, or pure gold, may seem like the ideal material for jewelry, however, it’s too soft to withstand scratches. In fact, V! uses 14k gold, which is primarily gold or 14 parts gold out of 24, melded with stronger metals like zinc, nickel, silver, or copper. We mix these metals in percentages to achieve the colors yellow gold, white gold and rose gold for our pieces. 14k gold is a popular choice for jewelry since it’s accessible and durable enough to be passed down from one fashionable generation to another.

Stainless Steel

Nowadays, stainless steel is a common material used for jewelry and is often preferred by many since it’s strong, more durable, and doesn’t rust or tarnish, unlike plated jewelry. It’s perfect for those sensitive or allergic to certain metals since it’s hypoallergenic. This metal can be mixed with gold color to achieve a fabulous piece of gold jewelry that’s perfect for everyday wear.
