Hi, Iâm the heart and hands behind Glitz & Love.
I started out with a business degree in accounting and finance, and like many, I followed the âsafeâ path into a career in accounting. But over time, something didnât feel rightâI felt lost, like something was missing.
Everything changed during a family trip overseas. We happened to walk past a jewelry supply shop, and I couldnât resist stepping in. I was instantly captivatedâevery bead, every tool, every sparkle drew me in. I spent hours there, completely mesmerized. Thatâs when I realized: I had found my playground.
I brought home a handful of tools and materials, and started making jewelry just for fun. To my surprise, I fell in love with the processâcreating with my hands, designing pieces that told a story. In 2009, I opened a small online shop on a marketplace platform, crafting everyday jewelry by hand.
A few years later, while planning my own wedding, I began designing bridal jewelryâfor myself and my bridesmaids. That sparked a new chapter, focusing on wedding jewelry with Austrian crystals, crystal pearls, and sparkling cubic zirconia. I loved the precision and sparkle, and so did my customers.
Then in 2019, I stumbled upon a freshwater baroque pearl that stopped me in my tracks. It was organic, luminous, one-of-a-kindâso different from the uniformity I was used to. I was instantly hooked. That moment marked the beginning of my love affair with pearls.
I began exploring the world of pearlsâfrom freshwater Edison and baroque pearls to Tahitian, South Sea, Akoya, and mabe. What I love most is their individualityâno two are ever the same. Their natural glow and elegance canât be replicated, and they inspired me to create a new kind of jewelry collection: one that celebrates natural beauty and quiet luxury.
Today, Glitz & Love is built on the idea that timeless, elegant jewelry should feel special and accessible. Every piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted with high-quality materials like 925 sterling silver, 14k gold filled, 18k gold and natural pearls. Many of our designs are made in small batches, sometimes just one pieceâso when you find something you love, donât wait too long.
Our goal is simple: to create jewelry that brings joy and confidence to your everyday moments, special occasions, and everything in between.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me. đ
