A Piece Made Just for You

If you have a pearl you’d like to use, a design idea in mind,
or simply want something one-of-a-kind—I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make something special, together.

filmed without narration, capturing the real flow of work.

Voice

Thoughts I can’t always say out loud.

I write when something stays with me—a moment, a pearl, or a passing thought.
“Voice” is where I share these reflections, from behind the scenes of pearl-making, and sometimes, just from everyday life.

Insights into running the shop—Etsy listings, technical troubles,

My name is Lulu.

I was not born among pearls.
But pearls seem drawn to me, nonetheless.

I am Lulu, a young and radiant pup of exquisite charm.

The esteemed owner of Flower Jem is my devoted subject, yet he dares to capture my likeness

in photos and videos without so much as requesting my royal consent!

Pearls?

What trifling baubles! Are they even fit for consumption?

Such matters do not concern me.

Nevertheless, I shall graciously extend my paw in friendship—consider it an honor!

Well, I have no particular interest in pearls,

but it seems they have quite the infatuation with me.

Truly, it cannot be helped—no matter what I adorn myself with, it simply becomes me effortlessly.

Certainly, my dear…
