INSPIRATION
In 2014, to celebrate 40 years of TAHITI PERLES, his renowned Tahitian pearl production company, ROBERT WAN forged an extraordinary partnership with S.T. Dupont—commemorating its own 140 years of prestigious craftsmanship—and Philippe Tournaire, master jeweler from Place Vendôme.
This trilogy of rare expertise gave birth to three exceptional art pieces, each a tribute to the legendary Tahitian pearl and its visionary producer, Robert Wan.
Drawing upon the classic elegance of the Neo-Classic President Pen, the “King of Pearl” Exclusive Collection channels its inspiration and power from the timeless symbols of the sea.
Resting upon an exquisite shell and mother-of-pearl base, the “King of Pearl” pen is crowned with an impressive Poseidon diadem crafted in solid gold, with a magnificent 15mm size Tahitian black pearl of exceptional quality enthroned at its apex. Adding a touch of femininity and mystique, a delicately carved golden siren nestles beneath the crown.
ROBERT WAN
For more than 50 years, Robert Wan consistently produced the world’s most exquisite Tahitian pearls from his pearl farms on remote and idyllic islands throughout French Polynesia.
Proud of his French nationality and inspired by his Chinese heritage, Mr. Wan’s true love remained French Polynesia—his home and his muse. His relentless passion for innovation, quality, and excellence earned him worldwide recognition as “The Pearl Emperor of Tahiti.”
Since his very first harvest, Mr. Wan championed the value and beauty of these remarkable pearls. Through his dedication, Tahitian pearls gained global recognition as gemstones in their own right. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) officially accredited the Tahitian cultured pearl, securing its rightful place in the world of international jewelry as a fully-fledged gem.
For over 50 years, Robert Wan has produced the highest-quality Tahitian black pearls in lagoons that rank among the purest and cleanest in the world. He viewed these pearls as symbols of harmony between humanity and nature—an inspiration for the emerging values of the 21st century.
The King of Pearl edition was created in partnership with Philippe Tournaire, Master Jeweler and holder of the prestigious EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label.
