Galatea takes its name from the ancient Greek story of Pygmalion, the young artist who fell in love with the statue he had created. At Galatea, the act of carving a pearl is about more than just creating a beautiful piece of jewelry. It is about unleashing the creative spirit and in doing so, creating a symbol of love, originality and individualism. In this spirit of love, Galatea's creations are also designed to bring the beauty of the world to life by transforming pearls and gemstones into one-of-a-kind works of art.
