Scallop Pearl Jewellery
Handmade, Unique, Elegant, & Natural
ABOUT SCALLOP PEARLS
Developed naturally over several years, only 1-5% of scallops produce pearls. These pearls have been found casually by fisherman for years; but if you consider their natural rarity and the extremely fast shucking process, the opportunity to find a jewellery worthy pearl becomes quite special.
It is our pleasure to display these pearls, with their silvery glittering sheen, in complimentary settings where their beauty can be enjoyed for many years to come.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
All of our scallop pearl jewelery is an original design, created by gemologist and artist Craig Fancy.
Craig attended George Brown College of Applied Arts and Technology and studied Jewellery Arts-Repairs-Design and Gemmology and graduated in 1989 with Honours.
In 1992 Craig earned his fellowship diploma from the Canadian Gemmological Association.
Craig has applied his skills to jewellery design and repair and gemmology since he entered the family business in 1989.
In 2004 Craig was recognized by the Canadian Gemmological Association, for his development, identification and establishment of the Scallop Pearl as a worthy addition to the list of Canadian Gemstones
