Marge Dawson was born in Durban, South Africa, and has always loved the sea. Her passion for pearls originated in 1980 when she owned a franchise for "Pearls in the Oyster". Over a period of 3 years she opened hundreds of Akoya oysters from Japan, containing the most beautiful variety pearls. The customer would choose an oyster Marge would open it, drill the pearl and set them onto rings, earrings or pendants of the customer's choice, straight away, great fun way of shopping.
