ORIGINAL INTENTION

 

From a Pair of Earrings to a Promise of Love

It all began on a cold winter night. That year, my mother fell ill and was hospitalized, leaving our family under immense financial strain. To afford her medication, I made the difficult decision to sell her most cherished possession—a pair of handmade silver earrings passed down from my grandmother. My mother had always said they symbolized love, protection, and blessings from our family’s past.

As I parted with the earrings, a promise took root in my heart: one day, I would create a pair even more beautiful with my own hands and give them back to her, proving that love and blessings never truly leave us.

That moment set me on a journey to learn jewelry design and craftsmanship. Every piece I created carried my emotions, my gratitude for life, and my longing for family. Eventually, I founded my own brand, naming it “Celestienne” to symbolize the way jewelry can safeguard the most precious feelings in our hearts.

My first collection was inspired by the nurses who cared for my mother during her hardest days. Their compassion and dedication deeply moved me, and I wanted to create something to express my gratitude. From that point on, every piece of jewelry I designed told a story—some commemorated lost loved ones, others celebrated new beginnings, and many were tokens of love that bridged distances.

I also made a promise to give back. A portion of my brand’s revenue supports families struggling with medical expenses, knowing firsthand how a small act of kindness can transform lives.

Today, my brand has reached people around the world and found its way into countless hearts. Whenever someone tells me they feel strength and warmth while wearing my jewelry, I think back to that pair of earrings—the starting point of it all.
