About us

The start of Pearlistic dates all the way back to the 90s. Our family originated from the island of Phuket in the south of Thailand, a landmass surrounded by beaches and oceans. Being near the beach by default, we have learnt to be appreciative and grateful for our natural surroundings including the sea and ocean.

Fascinated by nature, we set out to find the most valuable object in the ocean: pearls.

With an undying passion for pearls, we embarked on a journey to unearth the most beautiful pearls we could find. That is when we started our first retail store in 1995 called Mook Phuket, mook meaning pearls in the Thai language. For a decade we worked diligently to make sure that our products are the best in the island, until the tsunami hit us on boxing day in 2003.

Devastated by the natural disaster, all our operations ceased and we proceeded to turn a part of our family business into a charity, helping those in need and donating to causes that would help the people on the island. The tsunami also destroyed a significant part of underwater wildlife and in the process, obliterating an immense number of beautiful pearls.

Fast forward a decade and Phuket is thriving again. Over the demanding years, more gorgeous pearls have formed under the pressure of the sea presenting us with an opportunity to cultivate these pearls and bring them to the world wide web. Rebranded as Pearlistic, we present to you a collection of the finest pearls we could uncover: A story told through pearls.
