Welcome to Precious as a Pearl – Handmade Pearl Jewellery by Pauline Lomax

Hello, I’m Pauline Lomax. Originally from Belfast, I’ve made my home in Cardiff, where each piece of jewellery I create is crafted with care, patience, and a love for the timeless beauty of pearls.

From the moment I started making jewellery (or jewelry, if you’re reading from the US!), I was drawn to pearls. There’s just something magical about them — their natural beauty, the soft glow of their lustre, and the fact that no two are ever quite the same. Pearls come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, and that uniqueness makes them a joy to work with (though a real challenge to photograph!).

On my webstore, you’ll find a range of handmade earrings, bracelets, chokers, pendants, and necklaces — many designed to mix and match into elegant sets. I also understand how personal jewellery is, which is why I offer a choice of earring backs to suit your comfort: sterling silver hooks, posts, hinge-backs, and even silver-plated clip-ons for non-pierced ears. Gold-filled options are also available.

Many of the necklaces and bracelets  are hand-knotted on silk thread using traditional methods here in my Cardiff workshop. The finer the pearl, the more intricate the process — but I believe the results are worth it. If you’re after something custom, whether it’s a specific length or a clasp you love, or to restring a cherished piece, I’d be delighted to work with you.

My business name was inspired by a song written by my daughter. One line in particular stuck with me:

“I am no stereotypical girl, I am as Precious as a Pearl!”

And here we are.

I’m always open to suggestions and would love to hear your feedback. Thank you for stopping by — I hope you find something here that makes you feel as precious as a pearl.

With warm wishes,

Pauline Lomax
