2018 has been a big year for us. For a long time, we’ve wanted to change out our boxes, upgrade our packages, and really elevate the entire pearl experience. After making excuses for why it was never the right time, we finally bit the bullet and said let’s just go for it.
Now don’t get me wrong, we were very excited… but it also took a LOT of trial and error, time, and energy. We wanted this to be perfect. We wanted the material to look good, feel good, but also be versatile.
We wanted the boxes to be hefty but ergonomic. Something you could proudly present, but also use after opening it. Something that would protect the pearls during transit, but also be convenient to carry around.
Every single element of the design had an entire process to it. In fact, you won’t believe how many different shades of gray there are….. We took some photos of the process along the way, and wanted to share the journey with you.
At the end of it, we can proudly share the finished product with you and we can’t wait for you to see the result of all our hard work.
