Express your natural beauty with GAIA pieces, handcrafted with care in Egypt.

The only gemstone made by a living creature. Ancient Egyptians inlaid Mother of Pearl into ceremonial objects and burial ornaments because they believed the shell carried the light of the moon within it. Roman courts documented the pearl as the most coveted of all gems — Pliny the Elder recorded that a single pearl earring worn by Cleopatra was valued at the equivalent of an entire Roman province.
