About

I'm Courtney, the owner and creator behind The Painted Pearl! 

I'm a self-made jewelry maker/designer, making my very first necklace and earring set in 2005 from my college dorm room senior year. 

Fast forward to Fall of 2012, when my oldest was not yet a year old, I explored with jewelry making again and The Painted Pearl was born out of a need to boost my self-confidence with affordable accessories when my postpartum body couldn't. 

Nearly ten years and two boys later, my passions are ever evolving but I know one thing to be true - I'll always have be a creator at heart. My creativity just might ebb and flow and change over time. 

I hope you enjoy browsing from my collections of creativity from jewelry and oyster decor to hand-painted needlepoint canvases - my latest, and by far most expensive, hobby!
