Tenerife Perla is a pearl studio and showroom based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canarias, offering hands‑on pearl fishing and bespoke jewellery creation. Founded to connect visitors with the unique process of pearl discovery, Tenerife Perla operates a flagship store in Armeñime where guests can fish freshwater and Akoya pearls, view a wide showroom selection, and commission custom settings.
Each experience combines education and craftsmanship. Guests select an oyster or mollusc to open, witness the reveal of a freshwater or Akoya pearl, and learn about pearl types, shapes, and quality. Options include fishing only or fishing with an immediate setting; settings are designed and crafted on site by experienced jewellers. The business highlights transparency about materials, visible artisan techniques, and tangible keepsakes created during the visit.
Tenerife Perla maintains clear, verifiable service descriptions and communicates location details and trip options prior to booking. The business supports walk‑in showroom visits and guided pick‑a‑pearl sessions at its Armeñime location. Photographic documentation of the pearl reveal and finished jewellery is available, enabling guests to preserve the memory of the experience.
As an attraction in the Canary Islands, Tenerife Perla positions itself as both an educational activity and a jewellery atelier. The combination of interactive pearl fishing, a large showroom inventory, and on‑site setting services makes Tenerife Perla a specialized option for visitors seeking an authentic, hands‑on jewellery experience during their stay in Tenerife. Booking information, pricing and session durations are published on Tenerife Perla's official channels to aid visitor planning. Simple confirmation provided.
