Jewel of the aisle British pearl jewellery brand ORA Pearls has opened The Pearl Shop in the heart of Whitstable on Harbour Street. The store’s marine aesthetic reflects the brand’s identity: elegant, modern, and rooted in a deep appreciation for nature’s most cherished gem. In addition to its signature pearl pieces, The Pearl Shop offers permanent welded jewellery — a growing trend in which custom-fit bracelets or anklets are painlessly welded on, symbolising connection or personal milestones. The boutique also features a range of objets d’art, alongside a curated selection of gifts and small objects chosen with care and creativity. The brand behind The Pearl Shop is led by an all-female team, committed to sustainability, craftsmanship, and supporting women. All pieces are made in limited quantities to avoid overproduction, using recyclable packaging and ethically sourced materials.
