Founded in 1890 on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Majorica is a historic jewelry house renowned for inventing the world’s first organic, man-made pearl. Established by German engineer Eduard Hugo Heusch, the brand developed a proprietary scientific process to reproduce the iridescence and density of natural pearls without the environmental toll of oyster harvesting. Unlike common plastic imitations, Majorica pearls are crafted from a solid opaline crystal core coated in multiple layers of "pearl essence," an extract derived from marine organic elements, resulting in a gem that is virtually indistinguishable from its natural counterpart.
