Our story

At Claria, we empower women to embrace their authentic selves and express their individuality with timeless pearl jewellery, so you can feel confident, empowered, and at peace. 

Hello, I'm Chao.

In 2024, I took the leap into creating a jewellery brand - one focused on simple, elegant, and classic pieces. I kept seeing jewellery that felt over-designed, with embellishments that often wore the person, rather than the other way around. At Claria, I want jewellery to let you shine, enhancing who you are without overshadowing you.

Wear your story: be you, be timeless.

A big part of my life is a search for clarity - understanding who I am, making sense of the world around me, and exploring those little emotions that catch me off guard. Brene Brown’s The Power of Vulnerability has been a huge influence, inspiring me to embrace authenticity. And that’s the essence behind "Claria": clarity, authenticity, and not afraid to be seen.

I've always loved pearls. They’re gentle yet luminous, each one unique with its own imperfections - and I believe it’s in those imperfections that true beauty shines.

How it all began…
My journey to crafting jewellery started with a simple YouTube video on how to make pearl stud earrings. I had an “Aha!” moment, realizing that I could create my own pieces with quality pearls and sturdy, premium metals - something I hadn’t found in the market, at least not with an affordable price tag.

What Claria offers you
