Our Pearls
We are experts in pearls.
Our obsession is to offer pearls of the best quality for the 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 incredible.
They are the most eco-friendly gems in the world. Unlike others, which are extracted from the earth, pearls are cultivated, so the environmental impact is infinitely lower. Both saltwater oysters and freshwater mussels require clean waters to create pearls, so the industry makes a great effort to keep the waters free from pollution.
They are incredibly diverse due to the wide range of colors, sizes, shapes, and places of origin.
With pearls, you can never go wrong; 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 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.

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
Almost a decade of experience backed by more than 60 years of tradition.
Hello, I am Miguel Carabel Martín, I founded Secret & You with the aim of continuing in the sector that my family has been dedicated to since the 1960s.
Both my grandfather and my parents have dedicated themselves to jewelry, especially pearls, so it has been practically impossible not to develop a fondness for these incredible gems.
In addition to all the inherited knowledge, to enhance my training I obtained a degree in Gemology Specialized in Pearls from the Gemological Institute of America "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 pearls of great quality, a good price and with all the information necessary for customers to purchase the product they are truly looking for.
After eight years and more than 60,000 products sold, we still have the same goals.
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 different materials are clearly described.
However, quality materials are not enough; our jewelry is created to last and be durable. Our earrings have pins that are between 0.9 and 1 mm thick, 30% thicker than average, and large nuts that hold them securely. Our necklaces and bracelets are professionally strung with silk thread and have a knot between each pearl, and our clasps are sturdy.
We put a lot of effort into offering the best pearls, so our materials are also up to par.
