A little Maleficent energy in a very serious corporate environment. 🖤 Today’s outfit started with an all-black look, but my daughter’s Maleficent headband and a velvet cape from last year took things in a slightly different direction. I did wonder if I was a little overdressed for the office, though they nudged everyone to dress up, but I decided to commit to the look anyway. And the compliments made me glad I did! Because why should getting dressed for work always be so serious? Sometimes, doing something a little out of the ordinary is exactly what makes the day more fun. Naturally, my black pearl jewellery had to join the look. The blue, purple and green reflections in these pearls were made for an outfit like this. 🖤 And if you’ve been eyeing some black pearls of your own, here’s a little Halloween treat: use code HALLOWEEN15 for 15% off everything at emmrelle.com until the end of the week.

A little life update, and the story of what happens when a dream takes a different shape than you imagined. When I started Emmrelle, I never imagined how much of myself I would pour into it. After a year of pursuing it full-time, giving it my blood, sweat and tears, I had to make a difficult decision: return to corporate life and find a way to make both worlds work. Five long months of job hunting later, I'm back as a Quality Manager, this time in healthcare, an industry that genuinely inspires me. Was it easy to make that decision? No. But I'm learning that choosing a different path doesn't mean giving up on your dream. Emmrelle is still here, and so am I. I might move a little slower, launch fewer collections and spend less time on marketing, but the heart behind every piece hasn't changed. Neither has my commitment to quality, thoughtful design and making jewellery that makes women feel beautiful in their own way. Because Emmrelle has become so much more than a business. It's my creative outlet, my little corner of the world where I get to turn ideas into something tangible, meaningful and beautiful. And I've realised that while I need to be there for my family, I also need to keep a little something for myself. Something that brings me joy and helps me feel like me. So here's to a new chapter. To building at a different pace, celebrating what I've already achieved and trusting that a dream doesn't have to grow fast to be worth pursuing. If you've ever had to change direction without letting go of something you love, I'd love to hear your story. Thank you for being here and for giving Emmrelle a place in your lives. Every order, every kind message and every bit of support means more than you know.

“FOUR MORE!” If you’ve ever done Pilates, you know exactly what that means. 😂 But for a group of mums, those two words became a little inside joke with a very special teacher who guided them through pregnancy, supported them postpartum, and helped them find strength in a completely new chapter of life. When it was time to say goodbye, they wanted to give her something meaningful. So we created a necklace with four dainty baroque pearls, similar but never identical, just like the little moments and journeys that brought them together. And of course, four pearls for “four more” reps. Because some memories deserve to be worn close to your heart. This is what I love most about creating jewellery at Emmrelle. It's not just about the pearls. It's about the people, the stories, and the love behind every piece.

A little satin, a good pair of wide-leg jeans and pearls that do all the talking. I've always been a white-pearl girl, but lately, I'm finding myself reaching for black pearls more and more. I love the contrast they bring to an outfit, especially the way their natural peacock reflections catch the light, revealing hints of blue, purple, green and even pink. They're a little bolder, a little more unexpected, but still unmistakably elegant. And paired with warm neutrals? I think they make the perfect combination. Consider me officially converted... well, almost! 😉 Shop the black pearl collection at emmrelle.com.
