A MESSAGE FROM YING HE, FOUNDER & CEO:

In 1999, I found my life fraying. My parents were in the middle of a messy divorce and I was on my own for the first time, preparing to attend university alone in France. Thirteen years later, I would go through my own difficult divorce.

Amid all these changes and endings, my mother was a steadfast and loving support. As I scoured France for pearl necklace to show her my gratitude, I was overwhelmed by the high prices and disappointed that I could not afford this gift I most wanted for her. When I later saw my mother wearing a strand of luminous pearls, gifted from my uncle, I got curious. I learned everything I could about pearls, and though I didn’t know it at the time, this was the earliest beginning of Timeless Pearl.

In learning about pearls, I tapped into my love of art, and I found a rich metaphor for life—both of which I needed to share with the world. These radiant jewels are formed slowly over many years, layer upon layer of protection against a harmful, invasive element. In forming a pearl, the mollusk does not expel the harm. Instead, it’s encased in rare and hard-earned beauty.

Today, I have a wonderful family and a young son. My mission is to share my love of pearls, these elegant tributes to strength and resilience. I want to bring this lasting beauty to everyone, without the high price point. Pearls are a gift to ourselves and our loved ones, with the message that we too are luminous, rare, and timeless.
