OUR STORY

Motherhood.

It makes you reconsider your values in life.
Before giving birth to my twin boys, I was working as a CPA in public accounting spending most of my nights and weekends at the office during tax season. I went back to public accounting after my maternity leave, but one day it dawned on me that "This tax provision has nothing to do with my life." ;p

My grandfather used to own a small pearl business called "Nakanishi Shinju" back in Kobe, Japan. I always wanted to learn more about his business as well as pearl cultivation, but I did not have the chance to do so before he passed away. Although I didn't officially inherit his business, I wanted to carry on his legacy, so I borrowed "Nishi" which means West from Nakanishi Shinju and started my business as West Pearl in 2023.

Through West Pearl, I want to share some memorable quotes from my family, friends and bosses and my beliefs with my kids, so I decided to name each of our jewelry and associate it with a quote. These will be my future gifts to my kids, and I hope these quotes will shed some light when I deliver these to them or at one point of their lives.
