Erwin Pearl was only 15 when he arrived from Austria, a boy alone seeking all the new world offered. He got a job in the diamond industry, rose to the top, and then, well who hasn’t shopped Erwin Pearl’s affordable versions of fine jewelry? Pearl went from designing the highest end diamond jewelry — such trinkets as Allan Ludden’s engagement ring to Betty White — to fulfilling the destiny of his name. Pearls, affordable pearls, became the mainstay of an international company that today houses more than six hundred and fifty chain machines, as well as produces sterling silver and gold filled lines.
