My path to jewelry designing wasn’t linear
My name is Dishi and I founded Ate A Pearl in Sep'24. No fancy art school. No goldsmithing degree. Just a loud love for accessories and a refusal to shrink into ~ Dainty. Quiet. Disposable. Ate A Pearl was born to fill the silence with something louder🔥.

We team up with insanely skilled South Asian artisans to bring those ideas to life.
Supporting local makers isn’t just part of what we do — it’s the whole point. By working directly with artisan communities, we help keep traditional craft alive, lift local economies, and remind the world that real art doesn’t roll off an assembly line.
If you haven’t caught the hint
