GIFT WRAPPING $1 and FREE PRIORITY MAIL FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
PrettyShinyJewels is the perfect alternative to ubiquitous, bland fine jewelry found in most jewelry chains around the malls of America. Most items are one-of-a-kind, so you will never find someone else wearing your favorite earrings or necklace!
I like to use only natural and untreated gems and pearls, as well as solid gold, Sterling silver, high quality vermeil or gold-filled, so prices will differ according to the quality of what each piece is made off, but I try to keep my price as reasonable as possible. Each customer will receive the most attentive service that every real down-to-earth normal human being deserves. I will always be there to answer your questions, take new photos, explain processes, whatever you need to made the correct decision and if you do not like something when you receive it, I will accept all returns within a 30 days period. No questions asked.
If you have an idea in your head, a whisper of a particular design, a concept that you really like, send me a message: tell me what your favorite colors are, what gems you like, what you'd like to create, and we'll do it together if absolutely possible! If you see a necklace but would rather have a different chain or gem, or pearl, I can probably do that, so let your imagination flow...
Special orders with great one-on-one creative process are always welcomed. FREE SHIPPING, ALWAYS!

5 out of 5 starsI ordered a pair of beautiful ear rings for my adult daughter for Christmas. Unfortunately, they ended up being the wrong ones when she unwrapped them. Upon contacting the seller (Martine), she responded to our inquiry within a few hours and told us to keep them, plus she would send off the correct ones asap via priority mail the next day (this was Christmas, mind you). My daughter, however, asked if she could instead send this necklace (similar style as the originally ordered ear rings, but a little less in price)? Again, Martine immediately answered, agreed, and sent them off. We are very impressed with the fantastic service she provided. The items themselves were beautiful and met my daughters expectations. Thank you, Martine.

5 out of 5 starsMarine is fantastic. She communicates well and responds promptly to messages. She is very patient and accommodating and worked closely with me to brainstorm for my wife’s Christmas gift. I wanted a beautiful white South Sea pearl pendant with a 14K yellow gold cap and chain that she had on her site, and she custom-designed spectacular matching pearl earrings with emeralds. My wife absolutely loved her gift, and I was so happy too. I highly recommend Marine. She will personally help you if you need guidance or would like something crafted to your specifications.

5 out of 5 starsPerfect experience and beautiful earrings. The seller didn’t have the earrings I originally ordered, but she messaged with options to make a similar pair. I was able to choose the pearls and the fittings to perfectly match an antique necklace of my grandmother’s. I wore the set to my daughters wedding. Wonderful seller, beautiful quality.

Love those South Sea white pearls!
Pearls are the true gems of the seas...
My name is Marine Duhamel and I am the founder of PrettyShinyJewels. With such a name, you might say I was destined to create my line of jewelry with Tahitian and South Sea pearls as a main focus! I love the ocean and all the gorgeous organisms, plants and animals that create that amazing kaleidoscope of life underwater.
It all started with how beautiful I found pearls to be, how clean and alive. Pearls are the only jewelry "material" that will die if you don't wear them. The natural oils from your skin will keep them fresh and full of luster. That was something that stroke my imagination and made me fall in love with pearls. My only problem: I really don't like the current designs for pearls that are available on the market. I want to make jewelry pieces that speak to a newer generation, or simply to a generation of women who reject the "prim and proper" approach to life that their mother's white pearls strands represent. I also loved "rescuing" vintage costume jewelry from the past that were so representative of their time period (the 20s, 30s through the 80s) and modify them to fit our times at the same time infusing them with a new life through the use of real stones like citrine, topaz or sapphires, and yes, PEARLS. The result is I think striking and unique. Each one of my pieces is one of a kind, always unique. Yet at the same time, they retain a certain style that I guess is my own...
Yet, I do not come from Tahiti or that whole region filled with one island more beautiful than the next. I was born in Morocco, though of French ancestry. There use to be a fairly large French community in Morocco, Tunisia and most of North Africa. So I was born in a dual world where artisan work was very prevalent and rich on the Moroccan side, and education and intellectual creativity on the French side was a given. I also traveled throughout my childhood to Nigeria and eventually to California , what I call "the formative years", which helped me open up my mind to different cultures and ideas.
I hope you enjoy my designs!

I use to be a TV editor until I decided to start a new career. I LOVE making interesting jewelry, up-cycling sometimes from older costume jewelry, or simply creating new jewelry pieces from the best Nature has to offer: pearl, gems, gold and silver.
