Our Story

OUR STORY

It all started with an oyster… when founder and CEO Joan returned from a trip to Hawaii with a gift, an oyster with a pearl inside. The experience was so filled with wonder – she knew she had to share the oyster opening magic with others.

Joan launched the nation’s original oyster opening jewelry company, and for over 30 years, Vantel Pearls Consultants across America shared in that same oyster opening magic with their customers.

But it was about more than oyster openings. It was about the journey we all take. The values we hold dear. The courage we have to try something new, to take on challenges, and to discover, much like the pearl in the oyster, that we can emerge strong, shimmering, changed for the better.

OUR PEARLS

Vantel Pearls was unlike any other Direct Sales company for one simple reason – the magic of the oyster opening. Found within the oyster, Vantel Pearls are genuine freshwater cultured pearls, cultivated by oyster farmers adhering to high quality and environmental standards.

At online or home parties, Consultant opened oysters, revealing a beautiful gift from nature inside.

OUR VALUES
