Galatea Introduces Hand-carved Pearls Honoring Olympic Sports

SAN DIMAS, Calif. - Aug. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- Just in time for the Olympic Games in Rio, hand-carved pearls in the shapes of sports most popular balls are now available from Galatea Jewelry by Artist in San Dimas, California.

In sizes ranging from 11.5 to 12mm, each pearl is meticulously hand-carved into the shapes of soccer, tennis, basketball, baseball, cricket, volley, football and golf balls. Amazing in their accuracy and attention to detail, each Galatea Trophy Pearl is available in either black Tahitian, white freshwater or golden South Sea.

Known for perfecting the art of pearl carving, Galatea is the master of the craft. Using proprietary tools and sculpture-like designs, the cutting actually works in tandem with the pearl nacre, the enamel-like natural material on the outside of each cultured pearl that is secreted by the oyster during the culturing process. The result is a range of depth and warmth that turns the pearl into a stunning three-dimensional design.

Each hand-carved Trophy Pearl comes complete with a sterling silver setting and 18" sterling silver box chain. Prices at retail are $140 for freshwater pearls; $165 for Tahitian; and $190 for golden South Sea. Please note: Football Pearl is not available in golden South Sea.
