The Atelier

Thomas Lorillou
Jeweler

Trained by Jacques and based in Papeete for nearly thirty years, Thomas Lorillou has honed his expertise through direct hands-on experience with materials, workshop techniques, and the exacting standards of fine jewelry making. Every piece of Noa Noa Pearls & Gems jewelry is created in our workshop, from the initial sketch to the final touches. Design, shaping, stone setting, and polishing, every step is executed in-house to ensure each piece possesses perfect balance, precision, and character.

"No two Tahitian pearls are ever exactly alike. It is this uniqueness that compels us to create jewelry that is true, precise, and deeply personal." Thomas Lorillou

The Story

Born of a fascination.

It all began with a pearl resting on a workbench. Its color, luster, and iridescence seemed to hold an entire landscape within them. Thomas Lorillou saw more than just a precious material; he saw a starting point, a standard of excellence, and the conviction that a piece of jewelry should honor the unique character of the Tahitian pearl before even attempting to enhance its beauty.

Noa Noa Pearls & Gems was born of a single conviction: to establish a jewelry house in Tahiti where the black pearl is not merely a souvenir, but the centerpiece of exquisite, contemporary, and sustainable creations a jewelry brand deeply rooted in its local heritage and defined by the highest standards of excellence.

Expertise

Every action counts.

Stone setting, polishing, and shaping—everything is done by hand. The 18-karat gold is crafted using the same tools as a major Parisian fashion house. The difference? Here, we know the name of each piece and the person who will wear it.
