Press Release: Galatea Momento™, the jewelry brand that revolutionized fine jewelry with the world's first interactive pearl, will add two jewelry lines to its repertoire: the Momento Gem and Momento Diamond Collections. The jewelry debuted at the JCK Las Vegas Jewelry Show in May 2015.
With Momento NFC technology inside every piece of jewelry, pendants are no longer merely pendants -- they can hold a lifetime's worth of memories. Engagement rings can save and replay a proposal, and a gemstone ring for Mother's Day holds precious memories that can be stored, saved and played back with the touch of the jewelry to an Android phone.

With the huge success of Momento Pearl earlier this year, Galatea's owner, designer and creative director Chi Huynh said his company plans on continuing to build the Momento NFC brand, extending its reach into all corners of the jewelry industry. "To create beautiful jewelry that uses technology to become even more meaningful is the ultimate goal of our company," said Huynh.
The Galatea Edge
Always the innovators, Galatea owns a number of patents for its unique pearl and gemstone jewelry. In 2005, the company introduced the Galatea Pearl™ (U.S. Patent 7,062,940 B2), a pearl that is cultured using a colored stone bead. After the pearl's nacre is carved away, the color can be seen below its surface. It's been called the most significant breakthrough in pearl culturing since Kokichi Mikimoto patented the process in the early part of the 20th century. The DavinChi Cut and Illusia Collections are patented gemstone and diamond jewelry that rely upon cut and setting to disperse light in different ways throughout. But Galatea's Momento Collection has received the most attention, taking the industry by storm since its debut in January of this year. Smithsonian, CBS News, Techcrunch and Forbes were just some of the media outlets that covered the amazing blend of technology and traditional jewelry.
