Hands-On Pearl Design Workshop

Please join us on Sunday January 20, 2013 from 3 pm to 5 pm, for a special hands-on pearl design workshop.  Artist Eve J. Alfillé will instruct a group of 16 lucky participants who will work on a pearl (and gem) necklace or bracelet design right in our studio!


Participants may work with pearls and gems they already own, but wish to update, or may select from among the many strands Eve has in her coffers.


Attendance is limited to 16 participants, however, others are welcome to come and observe as special techniques will be shared about how to create jewelry with pearls and gems..

RSVP early if you wish to participate.  You’ll be asked to indicate the number in your party who plan to participate, and how many will be observing.  Call (847) 869-7920 and speak with Diane Alfillé, Pearl Society President and Spokesman.


Bring any pearls you own and would like to redesign, this may be the perfect opportunity to dress up what you already own, with a little help from Eve!
