Pursuing my dream






Ever since I was born, I was very sensitive to beauty. Since an age of 3 years old, I started to tie my own hair. I made many different pretty hairstyles based on what I saw in films on TV. My parents and others were amazed by my little talent at such young age.

Later on, during primary school, I was not only fascinated by fairy stories like other girls, but also I was attracted very much by classic movies from eastern and western. Furthermore I showed strong interests in music, dance and drawings, while at that time of China I was told to focus on practical studied in traditional education and afterwards had few chances to develop such interests. Aside from serious studies, I enjoyed a lot by being a serious collector of mother of pearls – iridescent shell which I found on lake sides. The dazzling display which was refracted back in my eyes from the lights on the surface of the inside shell, touched every sense of me…

Designing jewelry became my big hobby was in 2009, I quitted my job for France from China and start my adventure to explore Europe. In that particular period I was only studying France in Paris before my MBA program starts in few months. That was the first time in my life that I was setting in a completely new environment, new study and had a lot of free time to spend. I started to practice a new hobby besides others, which is to create my own jewelry by playing with all sort of used materials from old jewelries and clothing accessories. A force of creation came naturally to me and I was driven by such unpredictable passion, hence I continued to create one after another. Each design got appreciated from families and friends; therefore I started to make jewelry gifts for them. Designing and sharing provided me an amazing perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning and satisfaction.

I captured this hobby during MBA program in RSM, and it became a relaxing and joyful activity that I practice in very limited time frequently along hard studies. I was always enthusiastic to present my new designs to MBA colleges, and made some pieces to some friends as gifts. I got the idea of transferring my hobby into business after taking Entrepreneur course. I was very inspired by many successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs’ stories during the lectures. At the end I wrote a business plan of starting my own jewelry business.  Plan wrote on paper is easy, for realizing it needs a lot of actions.

I moved to Nice in côte d'azur, “ La region du soleil” in France after MBA in Holland. The adorable climate, natural environment and rich culture of this region brought me so much joy in life and it transferred into energies for continue my jewelry designs and relevant technical learning. At the same time I discovered my love for pearl followed my childhood fascination by mother shell entered my design work and soon pearl took the major role in each of my designs. The worship for pearl inspired me to create many personal designs with my emotions and imaginations. I am a perfectionist, which I expressed to extreme level into my jewelry creations including beginning of supplier selections, material using to details in each design and fabrication. My jewelry got many positive feed backs and appreciations here in Nice, Monaco and Paris through people around me and collaborations with boutiques.

Following marketing studies in 2011, early in 2012 I am building a website with supports from my husband. In this site, I offer very fair prices with the strong wish to share utmost my jewelry collections with other women, which are the fundamental energy and motivation for my designs. I wish to communicate and interact with everyone through the online communities of my website and face book page, your feed backs help me to move forward towards my dream!

Visiting pearl suppliers in China


December of 2011, I went back to China spend short vacation with my families from France. I managed to take one day’s trip to visit my suppliers’ pearl lakes because they locate just in my hometown-Hunan province a fast developing pearl cultivation base where produces about 50% pearls in China. Certainly from internet and books relates to Pearls or cultured pearls we can learn big deal of knowledge, but I always like visiting my suppliers to understand more of the pearl producing industry by actually seeing how they organize their works, further more to understand profound and practical experience from my suppliers on pearl cultivation and managing to select good pearls.

Photos above present the pearl cultivation lake which belongs to one of my suppliers, as well his villa with impressive wooden architecture designed by my supplier himself besides a garden with wild elephant statue. From here the photo of pearl lake, you can see on the surface of the lake, there are many plastic bottles. Under each bottle hangs a mother- pearl shell. The reason for this is because when pearl nacre grows inside of their mother-shell they need oxygen and sunlight just like human beings. This way also provides easy way for checking pearls’ growing status from time to time during average 3~5 years. Important factors relating to the quality of pearls starting from the beginning – inserting tissue piece to mussel to later on maintaining good cultivation environment in the lake( such as quality and fluidity of water etc.), and particularly many methods were created to make sure sufficient nutrition in the lake for cultivation. Global, high quality pearls are produced through expertise experiences to provide good technics and methodologies, investing time, cost and energy plus a lot of patience. 

Designed a set of pearl jewellery for my own wedding


Oct 8 2011, I finally tried this set of pearl jewellery with my white wedding dress. At the moment I already put on dress, I bought out my jewellery from this blue box that I kept carefully with lots of cherishes since March when I made the designs. I remembered that I was fully of happinesses, joys showed up on my face, after I founded out that they fitted perfectly together- my white wedding dress and pearl jewellery. The pearl necklace brought lights on my dress, and they looked fresh and légère compares with traditional pearl necklace; my earrings decorated my hair with two precious water drops made of pearls and the circles underlined their elegance and purity. The joy drifted around and remained long inside me, like listened a wonderful harmonised orchestral music or drank a cup of long-lasting Bordeaux red win. I was ensured profoundly that I loved the way I looked and that was how I was going to present in front of my husband soon...
