Along the coast of Mexico I met a woman selling pearls. She explained to me the process her family goes through to collect the pearls and make this beautiful jewelry. I felt compassion for her situation and I instantly became fascinated by the luster and simplicity of the pearls. That's where I bought my first strand. 

We continued working together; I would buy for others and brought her customers as well. I met her daughters, we became friends, and this passion to work with pearls began. 

I always think of the pearly gates of heaven described in Revelations 21:21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl". I also remember the parable Jesus shared about the merchant in search of fine pearls. Although, the pearls themselves are beautiful, I find the symbolic meaning of the pearl even more special: The precious gift of Jesus, God's only son, and the meaning that He brings to our life. From that, I incorporated the pearl with my passion to share the gospel and Pure Love was born. 

My hope is that women who receive and wear a Pure Love gift remember the gift of Jesus.
