“My 2012 collection is influenced by my love for luxurious fabrics and gems which started generations ago from my mother and grandmother. I was originally named Perla after my grandmother, which was later translated to Pnina in Hebrew. I remember my mother and grandmother always being well dressed and adorned by precious pearls … The more strands, the better! After the passing of my mother in December of 2010, a friend compared tears to pearls. I held that thought with me, and for this collection, turned pearls into tears of joy for all the happy moments on a bride’s wedding day.
Pearls are a perfect accessory for the luxurious and decadent bride, but are also classic for a simple and chic bride. This collection, features, luxurious silk fabrics such as taffeta, double faced organza, satin, and vintage lace, highly embellished by precious pearls and Swarovski jewels. The 2012 Collection is dedicated to my mother, Ruth Assis.”
