Our story
In the pearl trade for more than 25 years.
From a fashion jewelry business in the 1980s to more than 50 shows a year on the road, this is how Yenâs became the pearl wholesaler the trade keeps coming back to.
1980s ¡ Where it started
Fashion jewelry
Yenâs began in the 1980s selling fashion jewelry and learning the wholesale business from the ground up.
Mid-1990s ¡ On the road
50+ shows a year
As demand for pearls grew, we became a dedicated pearl wholesaler and took our strands across the United States, from the International Gem & Jewelry Show (Intergem) and gift shows to professional trade shows like Tucson and JCK.
At the source
Hong Kong & Japan
We travel to work directly with pearl farmers, selecting from each harvest through relationships built over more than 25 years.

Read our full story
Welcome to our company! With a history that spans several decades, we have established ourselves as a leading wholesaler of high-quality pearls. Our journey began in the 1980s when we first started selling fashion-related jewelry. However, we recognized the growing demand for pearls and decided to transition into a pearl wholesaler in the mid-1990s.
Since then, we have been dedicated to sourcing the finest pearls from around the world. Our commitment to quality has led us to travel to places like Hong Kong and Japan, where we work closely with farmers to obtain the best harvests. By building strong relationships with our suppliers, we are able to offer our customers a wide selection of pearls in various sizes, colors, and shapes.
At our company, we believe in providing exceptional service to our clients. We understand that each customer has unique needs, and we are committed to working closely with them to find the perfect pearls for their individual requirements. With our extensive knowledge and experience in the industry, we are confident in our ability to provide our clients with the highest quality pearls at competitive prices.
