About Us

We finally decided to start up our own small business we dreamed about 20 years ago. 

“I’m Raffie (left), in Shanghai, China. I pursued the “perfect” coporate life for 10+ years, but was diagnosed with serious atrophic gastritis in 2023 and not fit for full-time office job anymore. I’m now making a living on my passion in designing and handmaking unique pearl jewelry, which has been very soothing for me. I live ~2 hours from the worldwide biggest pearl farm and market so I get to pick pearls of all shapes, colors and grades. “

“I’m Julia (right), a happy mother of 2 lovely girls living in Germany. As a professional accountant I’m secretly passionate about pearls. I’m learning to make some simple jewelry for myself and my girls, for them to have something nice to remember by.”

Each natural pearl is born with its own impefections, which is what we love them about, just like us. We are never pefect, but we are one of a kind.

At Raffie Pearls, we hand-pick the pearls with superior luster, design and play with them in various beautiful and fun forms. Hope you will like it as much as we do.
