In
the summer of 2006, on the beautiful coast of the state of Maine, Belle
Pearl was created. Now a flourishing business, the company got its
start when Angela Apon purchased a web-based baby bracelet site called
Princess Pearls shortly after receiving news she was expecting her
fifth child. Searching for a way to pursue her passions, yet keeping
in mind she wanted to work close to home, Angela found the creation of
Belle Pearl to be the perfect answer.
Before
starting Belle Pearl, Angela had been working part-time as a registered
dental hygienist but felt a calling from her inner entrepreneur. The
daughter of entrepreneurial parents, Angela learned at a young age that
it took hard work and dedication to make a business successful. With
determination, a positive outlook, and the support of her loving
family, Angela’s adventure began. Belle Pearl has become a continually
growing brand name that exemplifies quality jewelry and exceptional
customer service.
The
name Belle Pearl comes from two inspirations, Belle, from the French
word meaning “beautiful” and the pearl which has been known as the
“queen of gems.” For Angela, it is all about feeling beautiful.
Whether you are giving the gift of Belle Pearl jewelry or wearing it
yourself, Belle Pearl captures the essence of styles that make every
women feel confident, stylish, and of course, beautiful. Belle Pearl
Jewelry offers beautiful pearls for beautiful girls of all ages.
Initially the jewelry line was exclusively a freshwater pearl
collection, but as the business expanded, the designs now include
semi-precious stones such as peridot, chalcedony, citrine, amethyst,
among others.
It's exciting for her to be able to offer this fabulous jewelry
that is fashion forward and chic.
