There is a man named Erwin Pearl.

He has made and loved jewelry for over 50 years. Every single piece of Erwin Pearl jewelry is made from a design he has held in his hands, tested for drape over his arm, held up to the sunlight, improved with his care.

Erwin Pearl was born in Vienna, Austria, considered by some at the time as the cultural center of the world.  He reveled in Vienna’s sophisticated life until chaos in Europe forced him to journey to America alone as a young teen.  At 16 he apprenticed to a diamond cutter in New York while still in school and began learning the world of fine jewelry.

In the 1950’s he united with several craftsmen who fashioned his jewelry designs into reality.  Working in the finest and most expensive materials, Erwin Pearl brought innovation and artistry to the industry, winning the Diamond International Award five years in a row.

The challenge of designing for a much wider audience brought Erwin Pearl to the fashion jewelry world.  In the mid-seventies, he realized 'not everyone could afford his work in diamonds and gold'

"Fashion jewelry should be fun to look at and easy to wear.  This is a beautiful business.  If a woman feels beautiful wearing my pieces, then I know I am doing something right." From his fashion view came the Mikimoto Pearl Award for  outstanding pearl design and the 1991 Dallas Fashion Award.

Erwin Pearl remains the only major jewelry designer with his own chain factories, allowing the best possible control of quality, the best environment for the artisans to innovate. The chain factories are located in Rhode Island, along with his casting plant that creates most of the metal earrings and pins.  When you purchase from Erwin Pearl, in most cases you are buying American. 

You may have seen him on TV talking about his jewelry in his charming Viennese accent. Or you may have seen him in the streets of  New York or the capitals of Europe busy with his humanitarian projects or concentrating on the newest fashion ideas.

We at Erwin Pearl Inc write this in hopes you can share our pride in Mr. Pearl and feel that the jewelry pieces you buy from us have come from a very unique person.
