I'm a self taught jewelry maker. My ball started rolling back in 2004 when my older sister asked if I'd like to start showing my small number of jewelry designs at her new art gallery. Every month I would show my items, but never really pushed for more. After deciding to quit my job as a catering manager when my baby girl was born, I felt like "it's now or never" to make something of this jewelry hobby. I amped up my shop here on Etsy, and after learning a few tricks and lots of practice, my designs made their way on to more and more jewelry lovers necks, ears, and wrists.
I chose my buisiness name carefully. I wanted a name that was FULL of meaning. My great grandmother, Pearl, was who my husband and I named our only daughter after. Although I was very young when my great grandmother passed, I understand she had great class and kindness; never leaving her house with out a little sparkle. Her HUGE jewelry box was long sought after among the ladies in my family....I recently inherited that jewelry box!
And so, being able to stay home with our daughter has allowed me to build a business I love, I'm proud of, and that sends out goodness to others. Box of Pearls!
I love the freedom of what running my own jewelry business offers. I can design and create in a way that I choose, and offer my services to those who may benefit. I am able to connect with strangers who are looking for gifts for the special occasions and special people in their lives.

Feel free to reach out to me, send your ideas, ask about personalizing a special piece, or just say hi...I'm quick to respond! ;)
