About Us

Two best friends finally decided to start up our own small business we dreamed about 20 years ago. 

“I’m Raffie (left), in China, 2-hour-drive to one of the the world’s biggest pearl markets. I was diagnosed with serious atrophic gastritis last year and not fit for full-time office job anymore. Beading now is the best soothing leisure for me.”

“I’m Julia (right), a happy mother of 2 lovely girls living in Germany. As a professional accountant I’m secretly passionate about pearls. I’m learning to make some unique jewelry for myself and my girls, for them to have something nice to remember by when they grow up.”

Each natural pearl is born with its own impefections, which is what we love them about, just like us. We are never pefect, but we are one of the kind.

At Raffie & Julia, we hand-pick the pearls with superior luster, design and play with them in various beautiful and fun forms. Hope you will like it as much as we do.
