Q&A: Perlina Jewellery

Today we have a Perlina Jewellery - sooooo beautiful!!!!!

Name   Jess Hackett 

Company  Perlina Jewellery


Describe your products:  Designer Made Gemstone Jewellery

When did you start your business? 2010
What inspires you?  Italian art and fashion, hence the name Perlina (Italian for bead)
Natural beauty around me, both at home and abroad



What did you do before setting up your business?   
Psychology. I worked in various mental health settings as well as with children looked after and leaving care.

What is the best thing about running your business?   
The flexibility it provides me to be creative and to enjoy designing beautiful jewellery with an improved work/life balance.



Your favourite product?   
My signature work: Using wire and gemstones to create statement Perlina necklaces


Best business tip 
To keep in sight your vision of where you want your business to be. 
I believe if you can visualise something clearly enough, with the right drive and passion you can make it happen

Favourite colour   
White,  although my art teacher would remind me that white isn't actually a colour



Biggest business success 
Tough question. For me success has always been something I've measured in terms of professional status and outcomes.  Now my definition of success is much more about being well, happy and inspired. Whilst Perlina continues to do that successfully. . . . .
I'll keep holding out for my designs to feature in London Fashion week :-)

Business dream   
As well as the above, I would love my products to be sold in high end department stores not only in the UK but also in Paris, Milan and New York



Do you prefer tea or coffee?   
Veuve every time, its all about the VC
