According to Thomas More, Utopia is faraway mythical island with an imaginary and ideal form of life created by the best human resources. Utopia is an entity in the minds of humans for everything which is pure and perfect, hence, PAOLO GAIA, President, Utopia Pearls, imagines it as the light on that island to be similar to that of dawn of time, like the luminescence of Utopia jewels.
Utopia launches a new collection every year with one-off, unique and mesmerizing creations studded with unusual Pearl Shapes which are combined with most colorful and precious gem stones. Each piece of jewellery is a passionate statement of an artist’s creativity and dexterity to combine these elements in to a jewel that radiates the luminescence as referred by Paolo Gaia.
Paspaley, the pearling pioneer from Australia is the world's pre-eminent source of rare and beautiful South Sea pearls cultured from the ‘pinctada maxima’ the world’s largest oysters. These are the largest pearls and are highly sought after by the world's leading jewellery houses and designers.
