In 2005, the company introduced the Galatea Pearl\u2122 (U.S. Patent 7,062,940 B2), a pearl that is cultured using a colored stone bead. After the pearl\u2019s nacre is carved away, the color can be seen below its surface. It\u2019s been called the most significant breakthrough in pearl culturing since Kokichi Mikimoto patented the process in the early part of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>The complete collection of Momento Pearl jewelry includes 29 pendants, 26 earrings and 8 rings in 14k gold with Tahitian and freshwater pearls.
