About Us – Royal Pearl House
Our journey began in 1989, when I, Kirra Mahina, began handcrafting pearl jewelry from a small studio near Byron Bay. With a background in fine arts and a deep connection to nature, I started Royal Pearl House with the belief that pearls should be celebrated in their natural form—untouched, imperfect, and beautiful.
A few years later, my husband, Noa Mahina, joined me in the business. With his experience as a marine biologist, Noa brought a strong focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing, ensuring our pearls were harvested with care and respect for the ocean. His understanding of the delicate marine ecosystems shaped the foundation of our commitment to ocean-friendly practices.
As our family and business grew, so did our team. Our daughter, Lani Mahina, joined us in 2015. With a degree in contemporary design and a love for storytelling through jewelry, Lani brought a fresh creative vision to Royal Pearl House. Her designs blend tradition with modern elegance, appealing to a new generation while honoring our heritage.
In 2021, our son, Kai Mahina, became part of the business, leading the way in technology, customer experience, and our online presence. Thanks to Kai’s dedication, our family’s story and jewelry are now shared with customers across the world, while keeping the warmth and care of a small family-run studio.
What We Believe In
Sustainability and Respect for Nature
With Noa’s environmental expertise at our core, we source our pearls responsibly from small-scale farms that share our values. Every step of our process is designed to protect and preserve the oceans we love.
Generational Craftsmanship
With over three decades of hands-on experience, we ensure every piece is created with the utmost care, from the selection of each pearl to the final polish. Our family’s knowledge is passed down with pride, and it’s reflected in the craftsmanship of every item we create.
Jewelry With Meaning
Our pieces are designed to hold stories—of weddings, anniversaries, milestones, and everyday beauty. Whether you’re gifting a piece or wearing it yourself, we want it to feel personal and lasting.
A Legacy of the Sea
At Royal Pearl House, we are more than a brand—we are a family bound by a love for the ocean, for craftsmanship, and for meaningful connection. From Kirra’s first creations to Lani’s modern designs and Kai’s vision for the future, our family is united by a shared dream: to offer jewelry that carries the elegance of pearls and the spirit of those who wear them.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
With love and gratitude,
The Mahina Family
