Marutea
Marutea Private Culture is exclusive to Gellner. Marutea cultured pearls are Tahitian cultured pearls cultivated exclusively on Marutea Sud, the private atoll of Robert Wan. They captivate with an extraordinary spectrum of colour. Their body colour is delicately overlaid with unique hues of red, green and blue, creating an incomparable interplay of iridescent tones. Marutea cultured pearls are exceptionally rare in both quality and beauty, occurring only in very limited numbers in nature. From the very finest pearls of each exceptional winter harvest, only a handful of pearl necklaces and single pearls are created each year, available worldwide exclusively from Gellner as Marutea Private Culture.
Akoya Nova
Together with George Kakuda, one of the world‘s leading Akoya pearl farmers, Gellner rediscovered the beauty of colour-untreated Akoya cultured pearls. Under the name Akoya Nova, Gellner has brought this rediscovered beauty to those who value authenticity in its purest form. Akoya Nova captivates with its flawless natural white and its distinctive natural grey, delicately enhanced by a subtle bluish overtone. Thanks to a traditional cultivation method, these exceptional colours develop entirely naturally, giving the pearl its unmistakably cool elegance.
South Sea
The South Sea cultured pearl is regarded as the queen of cultured pearls. It owes this distinction to its remarkable lustre and its extraordinary size. Its natural home lies along the unspoilt coastlines of Northern Australia, in the tranquil bays of Indonesia and the Philippines, and off the coast of Myanmar. Particularly prized are pearls with a flawless white body colour, delicately overlaid with a subtle rosé over-tone. Equally sought after are pearls with soft bluish overtones. South Sea cultured pearls in rich golden hues represent one of nature‘s rarest expressions.
Ming
The uniqueness in Gellner Ming cultured pearls is revealed in an extraordinary spectrum of colour, ranging from delicate pink and rosé tones to scarlet, peach, bronze and deep violet. A palette found in no other variety of pearl. Gellner selects Ming cultured pearls exclusively for their exceptional colours and outstanding lustre. The result is jewellery distinguished by remarkable presence and unmistakable aesthetic character.

Tahiti
All of Gellners Tahitian cultured pearls originate from Robert Wan, widely regarded as the king of Tahitian cultured pearls. A long-standing and trusted friendship gives Gellner access to the finest harvests. Their defining characteristic is their mysterious play of colour, ranging from luminous silver to deep anthracite and black, often delicately enhanced by shimmering green overtones.
Akoya
The classic among cultured pearls, embodying harmony and grace. Their feminine elegance is defined by their perfectly round shape and their delicate colour nuances, ranging from soft rosé white and gentle cream to subtle champagne tones. Available in standard sizes from 2 to 9 mm, Gellner also offers these exceptional pearls in rare sizes of 10 mm and above.
Fiji
Fiji cultured pearls are characterised by their vibrant lustre and a naturally warm play of colour. Shades of brown, bronze and gold-pistachio lend them a serene depth and a special harmony – particularly when paired with rose gold. At Gellner, Fiji pearls showcase a warm, distinctive facet of the world of pearls – serene, full of character and deliberately different from pearls in cooler tones.
