Pearl is inspired by the beauty of nature. There are two versions of Pearl Playing Cards: Sunrise and Sunset. They complement each other.

Just as “”Impression, Sunrise”” is a famous painting by the Impressionist master Monet, the Pearl Deck evokes the same style. That’s why these decks are named Pearl Playing Cards: SUNRISE and Pearl Playing Cards: SUNSET. These cards showcase a vivid color combination inspired by Mother Nature with an impressionist theme. It’s a varied version of SUNRISE.

It took more than a year to prepare this Pearl project and perfect the final result. We repeatedly tested various aspects of Pearl, such as paper stocks for the tuck box, color rendering of designs, metallic inks, and the finish of the cards. All these elements make Pearl one of a kind. The tuck box is made of specially imported paper stock, which shines like a real pearl! For Sunrise, the tuck box is gold-foiled. Gold and bright-red metallic inks are applied to the face of the cards. On the other hand, for Sunset, the tuck box is bronze-foiled, and bronze and dark-red metallic inks are applied.

Besides the difference in color rendering, the feel of the cards is different, too. Sunrise is made with Magic Finish, which makes the cards smoother and shinier, and easier to fan. Sunset is made with Royal Finish, which is less slippery and better suited for applying fan powder. Each has its own merits, so it depends on which sleight or flourish you wish to use.
