Our values
QUALITY
We are convinced that it is not enough to create beautiful designs, if the quality is not good, the effort is in vain.
Our goal is to offer good quality pearls with great shine and resistant materials.
Whether in Silver or Gold, on our website you will not find earrings with pins and tiny nuts to save costs, or anything similar.
EDUCATION
We want our customers to make informed purchases.
Pearls are extraordinary gems, but they are not all the same, there are many types, both due to their origin and their shape.
This has given rise to enormous misinformation, both from the general public and from a surprising number of professionals.
Our goal is for you to learn about pearls so that you can choose the best option and always know what you are buying.
You can see our informative articles on pearls here .
TRANSPARENCY
We believe that it is important that you know exactly what you are buying, so in addition to educational material, we will always describe all our products truthfully and clarify any technical concepts.

Our history
Six years of experience backed by more than 60 years of tradition.
Hello, I'm Miguel Carabel Martín, I founded Secret & You with the aim of continuing in the sector to which my family has been dedicated since the 60s.
Both my grandfather and my parents have dedicated themselves to jewelry, especially pearls, so it has been practically impossible not to become fond of these incredible gems.
In addition to all the inherited knowledge, to increase my training I obtained a graduate degree in Gemology Specialized in Pearls, from the American Gemological Institute “GIA”.
In 2017, at the age of 26, I decided to found a brand dedicated exclusively to the sale of jewelry specialized in cultured pearls.
From the beginning, our goal has been to offer high quality pearls , at a good price and with all the necessary information so that customers can buy the product they are really looking for.
After six years and more than 30,000 products sold, we still have the same objectives.

Our Pearls
We are experts in pearls.
Our obsession is to offer pearls of the best quality at a fair price and with all the information you need to choose the right ones.
Why pearls?
The reasons are countless, but here are a few:
Pearls are the only gems produced by a living being , which is simply amazing.
They are the most ecological gems in the world. Unlike the rest, which are extracted from the earth, pearls are cultured, so the environmental impact is infinitely lower. Both saltwater oysters and freshwater mussels require clean water to create pearls, so the industry makes great efforts to keep waters free of pollution.
They are incredibly diverse due to the wide range of colors, sizes, shapes and places of origin.
You never go wrong with pearls, they are suitable for any occasion.

How do we get our pearls?
All our pearls are chosen one by one by me, Miguel Carabel, founder and graduate in pearls from the GIA, American Gemological Institute, the most relevant entity in the field.
We work directly with the producers of each type of pearl since they are produced in different parts of the world.
Akoya - Japan
Fresh water - China
South Sea - Australia, Indonesia, Philippines
Tahiti - French Polynesia
Pearls are something so unique and unpredictable that certain producers look for a particular type of pearl, some are focused on the production of small sized pearls, while focusing on larger ones. There are those dedicated only to baroque pearls, round pearls and even experimental farms.

The quality of our pearls
Our pearls shine and are pretty . Only 5% of the pearls obtained after harvest meet our quality standards. We do not offer dull pearls or pearls with obvious imperfections that make them undesirable.
Since we want everyone to be able to enjoy pearls, and because we are only dedicated to them, we are very competitive in all price ranges, but always meeting our standards.
In addition to quality, we do not limit ourselves to offering only classic round pearls, we offer different types of pearls resulting from the most innovative production methods, such as Édison or Keshi pearls, difficult to find in other less specialized sites.

Our prices
To offer the best pearls, we travel to Asia several times a year and buy thousands of pearls directly from the producers.
The pearls are personally selected to ensure optimal quality and look for good opportunities.
Our pearls, quality and price , are difficult to match throughout Spain and even Europe since we sell many more pearls than any jewelry store in the country.
Because we are only dedicated to pearls, we obtain and sell a very high volume, so we can offer pearls of the highest quality at very good prices.
Specialization + Volume + Knowledge = Good price
Our Materials
We use precious metals and high quality materials. 90% of our designs are made of sterling silver (925) or 18k gold (750).
All other designs that include or are made of another material are perfectly described.
However, quality materials are not enough, our jewelry is created to last and be resistant. Our earrings have pins between 0.9 and 1 mm thick and large nuts, which hold them well. Our necklaces and bracelets are professionally spun with silk thread and a knot between each bead and our clasps are sturdy.
We put a lot of effort into offering the best pearls, so our materials are also up to par.
