The Story of Pearl Dungeon
Who am I?
My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, and I'm the creator of Pearl Dungeon upcycled jewelry!
Since 2022, I've been working alone and managing everything for the brand. I make and design the jewelry, handle the website, social media, and everything else. :)
I love art in general, fashion, painting... In addition to jewelry, I draw and spend a lot of time collecting various trinkets, vintage objects, toys, and more!
Brand creation
In 2017, I was already making fashion jewelry. Then, in 2019, I completed a CAP (Certificat d'Aptitude Professionnelle) in jewelry making, which allowed me to learn the basics of the trade, and to understand what I wanted to do and what I didn't want to do!
At the end of 2019, and for 2 years, my love for vintage fashion and treasure hunting made me want to find vintage clothes! I sold clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories online.
But over time, I wanted to focus solely on vintage jewelry, it was THE product I preferred in vintage, so I decided to create Pearl Dungeon!
Upcycling, at the heart of the brand
Over time, I realised that Pearl Dungeon wasn't 100% right for me; I loved working with antique jewellery, but something was missing...
I wanted to create my own jewellery! More creativity in my work, while keeping the vintage aspect... I discovered upcycling!
Upcycling allows you to blend present, past, and future; a piece of metal that already holds a story can become part of a new object, which will also live on. It's truly a cycle of recovery that can repeat itself and give even more character to a piece! :)
Signature materials
Over time, I've been able to find the elements and materials that are truly unique to Pearl Dungeon.
I love working with 70s glass intaglios, vintage brass stampings, crystal, glass or stone beads, and antique findings, necklace pieces, chains... that I collect and restore!
I combine them with new materials to ensure strong and durable jewelry.
More than a jewel
Pearl Dungeon is a way to bring a little wonder into everyday life.
Legends make us dream, but I especially believe that our own stories, however small they may be, deserve to be celebrated!
If my jewelry can accompany you for years, be a part of your life, help you feel like yourself, in line with your values, your style, your character, and become your adventure companions, then Pearl Dungeon succeeds in its mission! ♡
