An intimate circle of Women of Pearls enjoyed a housewarming of sorts as ARAO unveiled its newest home at The Chaless Beauty and Wellness. It was an afternoon of pampering and pearls with guests taking a few hours from their busy schedules to indulge in unique massages, personalized skin care analysis and other creative treatments. There were delectable nibbles and flowing bubbles to accompany lively conversation and lighthearted laughter.

Although the late afternoon rendezvous saw the setting of a golden sun, attendees' faces lit up at the sight of ARAO’s most beloved South Sea Pearls in full display. And as most get-togethers among tight knit groups go, a new secret was revealed just before it was time to call it a day. An exclusive preview of ALCHEMY by ARAO, a series of collaborations from the sustainable luxury label, gave the ladies an exclusive peek at the limited edition scarves by artist Jo Ann Bitagcol featuring ARAO’s South Sea pearls.
