Pearls are always appropriate: a creative gem in the heart of Ōtautahi
Trained at AUT as a fashion designer, Lisa Yuyi has an eye for aesthetics and a keen sense of style. Her Crown-inspired deep dive into pearls planted the grain of an idea which she has developed into a growing business creating classically beautiful pearl jewellery from cultured baroque and keshi pearls. Lisa’s Felt shop, Mermade Pearl Studio, features a treasure trove of handcrafted strands, made in the heart of Ōtautahi.
