South Sea Pearl Jewelry

The Founding Chapter

Pearls,
since the beginning.

Isaac Westman began in 1982 in New York City, among the country’s first direct importers of freshwater pearl. The expertise that came with that trade — knowing pearls at the source before they were set — is what brought the house its first commission from a major U.S. retailer. Then a second. Then four decades of them.

Forty years on, every pearl that carries our name is still chosen the same way.
