About

The Beginnings

From a young age, Jennifer Tanpoco loved jewellery, inspired by her mother's stories like "The Necklace" by Guy De Maupassant. In 1997, a National Geographic issue introduced her to the world of Tahitian Pearls and Robert Wan, the famous 'Emperor of Tahitian Pearls'. In a twist of destiny, Jennifer soon found herself working closely with the Emperor himself, rapidly ascending the ranks and immersing herself in the beautiful pearl industry.

The Birth of Jaune Pearls

By 2002, Jaune Pearls was born, a testament to Jennifer's passion and Mark Tanpoco's entrepreneurial spirit. The brand, named after the couple's daughter Melizza Jaune is Jennifer's favourite Tahitian pearl shade, is more than just a label; it is a testament of deep-seated love. For nearly two decades, from 2002 to 2021, the brand remained an exclusive gem, meticulously curated for the private clientele of Jennifer and Mark.

The Global Expansion

However, in 2022, recognising the potential of a broader audience in the digital era, the brand evolved by launching an online store, opening its doors to a wider market and making sustainable luxury accessible to many more. Despite its recent relaunch, Jaune Pearls has swiftly garnered international recognition.

Early Milestones

The house was a standout finalist in the Fine Jewelry category at New York City's 27th Rising Star Annual Fashion Group International Awards, invited to grace the stages of both LA Fashion Week and Miami Swim Week, and was recognised by The Gemological Institute of America as a sustainable pearl company.

Our Community

Since its inception, the family has worked with, Robert Wan, The Emperor of Tahitian Pearls, and the finest artisans of French Polynesia and the Philippines to curate their luminous and thoughtful pearl collections. Their two decades' worth of expertise and close relationship with the heart of pearl farming regions ensures an authenticity and quality that is unlike any other.
