The Story of Us

Sparkle & Shine is dedicated exclusively to the timeless beauty of pearls. From delicately lustrous Akoyas to the captivating iridescence of Tahitians and South Sea gems, every piece we offer is chosen to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with quiet sophistication. Who We Are Founded by a team of gemologists and fine-jewellery artisans with more than two decades of combined experience, Sparkle & Shine unites traditional craft with modern design. Our headquarters and studio are located in Antwerp, one of the world’s historic centres for luxury gemstones, where each item is hand-strung, set and inspected before it reaches you. What We Believe 1. Authenticity first – We source directly from responsible pearl farms in Japan, French Polynesia, Australia and the Philippines, purchasing only Grade A or higher pearls certified for origin and quality. 2. Craftsmanship matters – Master stringers knot every strand individually to protect each pearl; our goldsmiths use 14 K and 18 K recycled gold and platinum clasps and settings. 3. Transparency builds trust – Every order is accompanied by a detailed certificate listing size, shape, surface, luster and matching grades, along with care instructions. 4. Jewellery should uplift communities – A portion of every sale supports ocean-conservation programs and pearl-farm scholarships that train the next generation in sustainable aquaculture. Our Promise to You • Lifetime authenticity guarantee and free annual restringing for all strands. • Complimentary, insured worldwide shipping and 30-day returns, no questions asked. • Personal concierge service—speak directly with a gemologist for custom designs, bridal sets or investment-grade selections. Why Pearls, Why Now Pearls transcend seasons and trends. They are at once classic and contemporary, reflecting individuality while remaining universally elegant. At Sparkle & Shine we honor that legacy, crafting jewellery meant to be worn, cherished and ultimately passed down.
