Collection: Mabe pearls

Mabe pearls, also known as half-pearls or Mabe pearls, are a type of cultured pearl that differs from traditional round pearls. They are formed on the inner surface of the shell of mollusks, usually oysters or abalone, using a hemispherical nucleus. This results in a flat back and a convex front, giving Mabe pearls a distinctive shape. Mabe pearls are known for their large size and can be used to create dramatic and unique pieces of jewelry due to their flat side, which allows for creative setting options.
