A player in the pearl industry for more than 100 years, Imperial Pearl continues to bring new and innovative designs into the fold.

This year, the brand enjoyed a successful venture into rose gold, matching the metal with its natural pink Windsor pearls in modern and fresh settings.

Imperial’s latest designs also are on-trend: front-back pearl studs, Y necklaces and more, proving that pearls can be the perfect fit for today’s consumers.

Along with its newest styles, the brand just unveiled a new lifestyle campaign for 2016 featuring Miss Universe Olivia Culpo wearing its jewelry. The brand’s retail partners can use the images for marketing.
