Mai Pearls

Mai Pearls aims to make pearl jewellery that is affordable, ethical and fashion. The collection is designed by Henrietta Askew and it includes sophisticated classical pieces as well as contemporary creations influenced by Chinese Art and history. All the pearls used within Henrietta’s designs are Chinese freshwater pearls and each piece of jewellery is handmade by a small group of mainland Chinese women. Mai Pearls supports fair trade and local community initiatives. This ensures that suppliers are paid fair wages for their work; working conditions are safe and of a good standard and no children are exploited. Mai Pearls gives 10% of its profits to Operation Blessings, Chinese orphan care program. Mai Pearls also cares about the environment and we promise to try to minimise excess packaging as well as using items with recycled content. We also use recycle print materials when possible.
