Pearly Karpel was born and raised in Israel, married with 3 wonderful children, and living in Kefar Saba. Having a degree in Chemical Engineering, she started working in Israel and Switzerland in the pharmaceutical industry, and later on crossed to Hi-Tech and software engineering for more than 15 years. Since she was a small girl, and during all this time she has always involved herself in the arts and crafts (wood drawing, soaps, clay sculpturing etc.) immersing in vivid colors and styles.

Pearly has been designing glass beads by the Lampwork method from 2005. Although she ran across this field by coincidence, it immediately became love at first sight. Following a basic workshop, where she was first introduced to the glass beads, she was fascinated by the endless possibilities this art allows. Glass is the most versatile substance, enabling limitless variations of color, texture and shape. During the last couple of years, Pearly has been specializing among the highest professionals in the Lampwork field, such as James Minson and Micheala Muller. She has developed unique techniques and designs, selling her works around the world and mentoring new generations of glass beads designers.
