Are you looking for the perfect accessory for your
outfit? I'm Helena Van Vuuren, founder of Van
Vuuren's Vintage Pearls. I specialise in
producing beautiful, vintage, man-made pearl jewellery.
Who is Helena Van Vuuren?
I love my vintage pearls.
I've
been working in the jewellery industry for a long time now. I started off
working on the diamond mines in South Africa, before going to America to study
at the Gemologial Institute of
America. In my career I've also served at the British Jewellers Association.
In 2001 I bought a consignment of vintage, man-made pearls that dated from the early 1940s from a Birmingham jewellery manufacturer. I decided to start a business creating hand-made jewellery that was firmly based on a love of pearls.
This love of pearls runs through each of the vintage pearl necklaces I make.
When I'm not hand-stringing a vintage pearl necklace, you can find me growing my own veggies, listening to the Blues, or enjoying a glass of red wine. Even the most ardent pearl-lover needs some time off!
But enough about me.
