Our Origin Story
From Filled Jewelry Boxes to New Space
Julie Chen held a deep appreciation for pearls that eventually overflowed into two entire jewelry boxes. While managing a full-time job and raising two young children under the age of three, purchasing and collecting unique, naturally colored pearls became an essential creative outlet.
The collection grew so large that it prompted a lighthearted suggestion from her mother to clear out space by selling some of the pieces. This simple comment planted a seed, making Julie realize she could create simple, elegant designs herself.

Meet the Founders
Meet the Designer
Before building her brand, Julie Chen balanced the demands of a full-time career with the busy, constant rhythm of raising two very young children under the age of three. In the middle of this packed daily routine, sorting through and collecting uniquely shaped, naturally colored pearls became her essential space for quiet reflection. Her design work grew directly out of this personal ritual, turning late-night crafting hours into a dedicated creative outlet.
On challenging days, she finds her motivation renewed by the real-world impact of her handiwork, hearing how her creations accompany customers to weddings, serve as meaningful gifts, or provide a quiet boost of daily confidence. She remains deeply anchored in the tactile joy of the making process, still finding a distinct sense of excitement whenever she discovers an irregular pearl or brings a new visual concept to life from her home base in Halifax.
