Our name
In the language of flowers, a single Dahlia represents good taste. The
name Dahlia means novel, elegant, and tasteful. We believe that the Dahlia
embodies the elegance of our pearls, but we specifically chose the name
to also emphasize the importance of innovation and variety. Dahlia originated
in the mountain ranges of Mexico and south to Colombia, but some of the
first imported Dahlias grew in Empress Josephine's royal garden in France
in the early 1800's. Josephine was very protective of her dahlia collection
because during that time, a good dahlia could be traded for a diamond.
Dahlias were reserved for her royal garden and not accessible to the public.
Dahlias weren't popular in Europe until botanists discovered how to hybridize
the flower and produce the incredible variety of colors and shapes which
exists today. Dahlias range from one to twelve inches in diameter and
display just about every color except blue. A prize of one thousand pounds
was offered in 1826 for a blue Dahlia, but no one has yet produced one.
We compare Dahlias to our pearls because we offer elegant varieties of
pearls not found anywhere else. We constantly innovate our cultivation
techniques to bring you unique shapes and colors as well as fine quality
jewelry.
