We have always loved pushing the boundries of pearl jewelry here at Honora.  From the popular fashion items we have created over the years, including Pearl Floaters and Pearl & Leather, to the very introduction of Freshwater Pearls themselves, Honora strives to make pearl jewelry something that everyone can get excited about.

Over the past few years, this passion for a more fashion-forward pearl has led us to develop a way to infuse an unimagined array of pearl colors into Freshwater Pearls.  This pearl palette has allowed us to create color combinations that have exceeded even our wildest expectations.  While Joel and Ralph have been essential in developing the process through which we infuse our pearls with radiant color, no one in the pearl world has managed to do more with these pearl colors than our very own Larry Lippert.

25 years after Larry started working at Honora, he discovered a flair for putting color combinations together that have never been seen before in pearls.  Joel has even gone as far as renaming him “L’array” after the array of pearl colors that Larry uses to create his unique and colorful pearl designs. “The past 5 or 6 years have probably been the most fun and satisfying years I’ve had,” says Larry on his love of working with Honora’s amazing range of pearl colors.

Since Honora learned to infuse Freshwater Pearls in new and astounding colors, Larry had created several of the most successful collections, including Rainforest, Bluestone, Safari, Midnight and Santa Fe.  “I really don’t know where it came from, but now, I see color combinations in everything,” says Larry. “I take a lot of kidding about the L’array thing, but in all my years in this business I’ve never been involved in a product that is so fashionable, so much fun and has the value as the freshwater pearls do.”

This love of color is a passion held by everyone here at Honora.  Each morning, the women who work here at Honora go into Larry’s office asking to be L’array’d, their term for being dressed in one of his necklaces or bracelets.  We are constantly astounded by the color combinations that Larry creates and cannot wait to show you all of the colors to come.

Let us know your favorite color combination or  suggest one that we are yet to create in the comments section.
