“My interest in jewelry has been a lifelong passion and my childhood was steeped in fashion and jewelry. Growing up immersed in the pearl industry gave me a nuanced and intuitive understanding of jewellery’s artistry and its cultural significance. This deep-seated interest has profoundly shaped my career and the vision I keep on bringing, guiding our operations, creative direction, and strategic communications,” says Melizz Jaune Tampoco, Head of Jaune Pearls.

Her sister, Maika Rivera Tanpoco, plays a pivotal role as Director of Partnerships. “Maika’s strength for aligning our brand with a community and others who share our vision and values has led to significant milestones,” continues Melizza. “Thanks to her efforts, we’ve secured and maintained strategic alliances that enhance our brand’s visibility and strengthen our commitment to sustainability and elegance in jewelry design.”
Pearls are often viewed as jewelry for an older demographic, and Melizza and Maika wanted to challenge that notion when they entered the family business. They saw the potential of pearls to be “vibrant, modern, and inclusive,” Melizza emphasizes. “They are for everyone. We wanted to showcase pearls as chic, cool, and versatile— perfect for grand events and everyday elegance. Jaune Pearls was envisioned as a brand where anyone could find something to resonate with.
