Welcome to the Pearl World
Robert Wan's Journey with Pearls
In an interview released almost twenty years ago in an American magazine, Robert Wan explained his history, or more precisely, his link with the oyster pearl farming and its miraculous result: the pearl. During this interview, certain specific words naturally arose when referring to this character's soul, who, along with about ten other pioneers, accompanied the beginnings of the Tahitian cultured pearl. Unlike many other South Seas adventurers, he never gave up on this gem, which is now his identity. These key notions are his life. We have kept ten of them which reflect the many essential steps in Robert Wan’s journey.
A life dedicated to the pearl – exceptional pearls – quality – pearl farming’s techniques – precious gem and organic jewel – worldwide deployment – luxury and jewellery – femininity – environmental protection – beauty expression.
It is through these key notions that we have decided to tell you the story of Robert Wan’s 40 years, keeping in mind a chronological order reflecting an essential story of the Tahitian cultured pearl. These 10 essential notions, which can be compared to the ten commandments of the pearl, summarize 40 years of a love story that experienced all the intense moments of a passionate union. For worse sometimes, but always for better!
