For Mimi

In loving memory of Dores Edwards
The woman who made me fall in love with jewelry.

When I was a little girl, my grandmother, my Mimi, would pull out these soft bags filled with jewelry. I remember being completely mesmerized, sifting through each piece with wide eyes and a full heart. I wanted to wear it all at once. The sparkle, the shimmer, it felt like magic.

She never told me no. She let me play, explore, and admire every single piece. That simple act of love sparked something in me that never went away.

Petals & Pearls was born from that feeling. From the wonder I felt sitting beside her, discovering beauty, and feeling so seen and special. Every collection I create carries a piece of her spirit, her warmth, her softness, and her timeless style.

She’s no longer here, but her spark still shines. And this is for her.
This is for Mimi.
