Seeing the opulent strands of pearls and bright gems gracing the beautiful models in the Vogue Fashion magazines along with a love of craftsmanship involved in such hand-knotted pearl creations led me to form “STRUNG OUT ON PEARLS”. I like to envision each knot securely linking important milestones and events in a woman’s life, celebrating her achievements, to join together in a beautiful harmonious union.
Inspiration comes from the places I’ve travelled, the unique characteristics of the gemstones and pearls as well as themes in my own journey through life. While I originally started off knotting only pearls, I’ve gone on to knotting Labradorite, Agate and other semiprecious beads because I discovered the strength and beauty of the threads give semiprecious designs better longevity, style and durability.
The arrival of Covid in 2019 halted all in-person events so I created an online store for women who could no longer shop in person. Since then, my jewellery is now reaching an international market with more USA customers. This March 2023, PageFly featured me in their International Woman’s Day Celebration. I believe every woman has special strengths to share with and contribute to others, privately or
publicly. Some choose to be themselves quietly among family and close friends. They generously impart love, work ethics, values as well as treasured traditions —confidently knowing they’re ensuring the continuation of important family legacies. Others opt to stand out in a crowd, becoming pioneers paving new paths for future generations of women to follow. They succeed with their determination, grit and insights— coolly and confidently tempering their actions and decisions with feminine empathy.
Strung Out On Pearls creates one-of-a-kind knotted pearls and bold eclectic semiprecious
designs. Some prefer to wear my jewellery quietly and regally like a royal mantle. Others boldly accessorize like warriors silently going into battle for equity in their respective work fields. No matter how your style, you wear it and you’re memorable.
