For over three decades, the enchanting world of semi-precious beads and freshwater pearls has been beautifully woven into the lives of Ilona Biggins and her daughter Harriet. Starting in 1992, Ilona embarked on a remarkable journey that not only transformed her passion into a thriving business but also laid the foundation for a legacy that Harriet would carry on. Together, they have created a brand synonymous with quality and excellent customer service.

Ilona Biggins began her journey as a goldsmith which eventually brought her into the vibrant realm of semi-precious beads and freshwater pearls. With an eye for detail and creativity, she started sourcing unique pieces for her jewellery. Her passion for these natural treasures led her to explore the far reaches of the East, where she discovered an abundance of beautiful, high-quality semi precious beads and freshwater pearls which halted her jewellery making.

In 2008, Harriet joined the family business, bringing fresh energy and innovative ideas to the table. Their complementary skills have allowed them to expand their offerings while staying true to the core values. Together, they share a vision of connecting people with the beauty of nature through their collections.
One of the standout features of Ilona and Harriet’s business is their commitment to personally sourcing all their beads and pearls. This hands-on approach ensures that every piece they offer is of high quality for the price. They have travelled to the Far East, building relationships with suppliers who share their values. This personal touch shows in the beads and pearls that they supply.
