Tradition

The Risteski family is the first family to produce Ohrid pearls since 1954 in St. Naum

Why Risteski

Heritage & timelessness

Long ago, specific Ohrid Pearl models marked special life moments such as weddings, celebrations, visits, and proposals.

Among the most beloved were the old-fashioned braid for formal occasions and the maiden necklace, once a symbolic gift when asking for a bride's hand.

Unique creativity

The Risteski family offers a rich collection of unique handmade jewelry. The large selection of different colors of cultured natural pearls allows you to choose the ideal combination for your wardrobe. Each creation is distinguished by an individual approach, idea and design. They are made in different lengths according to the clientโ€™s wishes. The models are for people who want to be different, with their own style and parameters emphasized.

Quality you can trust

Each Ohrid pearl piece is handcrafted with careful control at every step, from shaping the nacre core to the final finish.

We preserve consistent quality, authentic materials, and lasting elegance in every creation.

Handmade process

Ohrid Pearl is crafted through a unique traditional method rather than found in finished form.

The process shapes a nacreous grain from the brightest inner part of the shell, then coats it in layers with a special emulsion made from the scales of the Ohrid fish plasica.
