OUR STORY

“The name Margarita translates to “”pearls”” in Latin and captures the heart of our brand. While the allure of popular gemstones cannot be denied, we felt drawn to the classic beauty of pearls and decided to take a path less travelled within the industry.”

We also recognised a prevailing concern among people: the uncertainty surrounding the genuineness of pearls available in the market today. This pushed us to ensure that every pearl we incorporate is carefully hand-picked and authentic. Our commitment is to bring clarity and transparency not only to the pearls but to all precious materials used to craft our products!

Pearl jewelry has historically been a mark of affluence and status, cherished by royalty. We have democratised this age-old luxury, offering designs that resonate with both the past and the present with a detailed focus on quality and craftsmanship. So whether it’s a heirloom-inspired rope necklace or a playful pair of earrings, we hope our clients feel like queens (or kings), finding joy in our designs and making them an integral part of their lives!

So yes, our world is made up of pearls—some peppy, some subtle, some gorgeous, some shiny—but always elegant and beautiful! We welcome you to indulge in the charm of our serene yet intoxicating Margaritas!
