Pearls, Mother of Pearl, and Shells
Apart from the obvious present for a Pearl anniversary, and the jewellery traditionally worn by a bride for her wedding, pearls remain a timeless classic piece of jewellery for both casual and formal evening wear. At Kouroupis we have always stocked a range of freshwater pearl jewellery, but this is the first time we have shown a selection from our stock on our web site. With prices for simple pearl stud earrings at €8 up to pearl rope necklaces at €250, we have bracelets and rings to suit all tastes and pockets, selected items are available for purchase on line by clicking on the ‘Buy Now’ buttons next to the items. Also available are a range of items using Mother of Pearl (Nacre) and a variety of cut and polished shell items
