Our Story

ILLUMIN DESIGNS was born out of deep resonance with ‘the perfection of imperfection’- the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect; the concept of kintsugi on healing and rebirth, and the passion to help illuminate another's journey. Every piece of our jeweled art is meticulously handcrafted, created with intention in a state of mediation- inspired by nature, my travels, and personal trials and tribulations. When I design, I don’t strive for symmetry or clean lines- I strive for organic fluidity in creation and flow. I strive for art.

Having had multiple exhibitions and awards since childhood as an oil painter, I expanded to sculpting and metalwork in my young adult years. I developed this particular aesthetic and process, self-taught in a relentless search of developing new ways of creation, combining my fine arts and science background.

I am hands-on in every aspect of our shop: gems and minerals are hand-selected(personally mined and cut when I can), and jewelry making(designing, sculpting, metalwork); truly a journey from my hands to yours.

ILLUMIN DESIGNS works with various foundations, dedicated to empowering, inspiring, and elevating others.

Thank you for helping us spread the light and letting us be a part of your journey.

Illuminate yourself, illuminate another. We rise together.

Yours,

Angel Pai
