EDITORIAL
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it
was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of
darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
30TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY
THE PEARL JUBILEE ISSUE
Natural pearls, in themselves being a rarity, are closely linked with a 30th anniversary,
symbolizing the scarcity of finding a lifelong partner. As FIRST Magazine celebrates its
Pearl Jubilee, we are deeply appreciative of our readers and advertisers, and everyone
who has and does contribute to the process of creating each edition, whose unwavering support has
been at the centre of our success – in this rollercoaster ride, this exhilarating adventure that is a
magazine, with twists and turns that represent the ever-changing trends and challenges in the
publishing world, making the editorial process a dynamic and captivating journey – over the past
30 years. We present to you our 30th Year Edition.
