My path to becoming a jewelry designer started as an accidental flirtation years ago. After breaking a beautiful amethyst necklace I’d just purchased, a friend suggested I learn how to repair it myself. The moment I first stepped into a store filled with semi-precious stones, the craft of jewelry design became a full-blown love affair. Learning how to repair that necklace started me on a journey that has included years of exploring the craft of design with various metals and gemstones, earning a design degree from the Gemological Institute of America, and I have spent endless hours developing my own unique style.

I run Perlin Design from a small village on the southern coast of Sweden. It is here, surrounded by the sea and nature, and my family, that I find my true creative inspiration. 

In keeping with my philosophy to live and create in harmony with the earth, each piece of jewelry is made by hand in Portugal and Bali in accordance with the highest environmental and industry standards. We produce every design in very limited quantities to minimize waste, and all waste materials are recycled or reused. 

It’s such an honor to be able to do what I love each and every day. It warms my heart and I hope, by wearing one of my pieces, it will warm your heart too. 

I hope you will enjoy shopping with us!
