A naturally formed baroque pearl — untouched, uncarved, and kept exactly as it grew. The silver stem and leaves are cast separately and attached without altering the pearl.

Moonlit Tulip
A collector baroque tulip — soft, quiet, and entirely shaped by nature. A pearl that grew into the silhouette of a flower long before hands ever touched it.
Moonlit Tulip is the very first piece of Pearl Tale Studio — a naturally shaped
baroque pearl whose gentle curves resemble a tulip in bloom. The pearl is kept
completely untreated: no carving, no polishing, no modification of its original form.
The silver stem is crafted separately and fitted without altering the pearl in any way.
This piece later became the emblem of the studio — a quiet symbol of how beauty grows
slowly, patiently, and without instruction. It now serves as the registered icon of
Pearl Tale Studio and is therefore not for sale.

The Collector's Story · A Tulip That Grew With Me
This tulip marks the quiet beginning of a promise I made to myself many years ago — that one day, when I had enough strength and enough courage, I would return to the things I loved before life became practical.
I grew up hearing one sentence again and again:
“To stand steady in life, you must first have a craft to rely on.”
So I walked the path of science and engineering. It gave me stability and a way to look after myself. But the rest of my heart — the part that loved drawing, soft colours and small handmade things — stayed quietly waiting. I hid my paintbrushes carefully. My computer became my battlefield. But the love never went away.
This year marks my twelfth year living away from home. I often think of the warmth I grew up with — my mother cooking softly in the kitchen, my father returning late with tired hands, my grandfather peeling oranges for me, my grandmother always pressing sweets into my palms. Those small gestures, repeated quietly over years, taught me that beauty is something nurtured with love and patience.
When adulthood felt too sharp and dreams felt too fragile, I picked up a paintbrush again. I started with pearls — imperfect, luminous, never the same twice. They reminded me of people, of stories, of the courage it takes to bloom in unexpected shapes.
Over the next 600 days, everything I create on this website will become a birthday gift for my parents — a way of saying thank you for the gentleness that shaped me. My father once told me: “If you spend ten thousand hours at anything, you’ll become someone with real skill.” I may never become a master, but I want to be someone who works with care.
I hope to paint one thousand pieces, and gather one thousand stories in return. Every customer who chooses a baroque pearl may also choose a small webpage story — a shared creation between your world and mine. It can become a love note, a quiet gift, a keepsake for someone dear.
And the first chapter of this long project begins with this tulip — the moonlit pearl I painted for my mother.
