| Introduction | Ten years ago my husband and I traveled to Vietnam for a vacation. I met some of the women trying to do business there and decided to try to help them via the Grameen Bank micro loan program. For the past ten years I've donated money and as well as employing women in Hanoi to make pearl jewelry for my customers. Since then I've traveled to Laos, Cambodia, England, France, Turkey, Nepal,Thailand,Mexico and Greece to buy exotic one-of-a-kind jewelry. Annually I return to Turkey and Thailand to buy gemstone jewelry. I recently began designing my own line of jewelry using unusual gemstones to fashion beautifully designed pieces. At 63 I have found my passion and the Universe just keeps giving me more blessings. Three years ago, after setting up booths at women's fundraisers for six years, I opened a jewlery store in Coronado, California. And though I sell much more than pearls, the name d Forsythe Pearls remains! |
