A Journey Beyond Jewelry
More than a sightseeing experience, the Pearl Legacy Tour is an immersive journey into the art of pearl cultivation, guided by Maiko Makito, Pearl FALCO’s Managing Director and third-generation pearl artisan.
From serene oyster rafts floating on the bay to the quiet precision of skilled farmers, you’ll witness the dedication it takes to nurture a single pearl.
Experience the rare and captivating moment of implantation — the very beginning of a pearl’s life — and learn how each oyster is tended with profound respect for nature.

Learn the Secrets of Pearl Grading
Gain first-hand insight into how pearls are evaluated — by luster, nacre thickness, color, and shape — and understand why no two pearls are ever the same.
Unlike diamonds, pearls have no universal grading system. Through this hands-on experience, you’ll discover the essence of what makes a pearl truly exceptional — a reflection of both the ocean’s grace and human artistry.
