Shiyamali Paranirupasingam, the founder of L'Amour Pearls
At the dynamic intersection of tradition and innovation, Shiyamali Paranirupasingam stands as a beacon of inspiration, seamlessly blending her multicultural upbringing, technological prowess, and unyielding passion to craft the globally acclaimed brand, L’Amour Pearls. Her journey from the tech corridors to the realm of exquisite jewellery epitomizes the power of self-discovery and the courage to dream beyond conventional boundaries.
With an illustrious 12-year career in technology and a childhood enriched by diverse cultural experiences across different countries, Shiyamali’s path to pearls was unconventional yet deeply rooted in personal conviction. Unlike those who inherit legacies passed down through generations, her foray into the world of pearls was driven by a profound appreciation for heritage and a vision to redefine their significance in the modern era.
For Shiyamali, pearls symbolize more than mere adornment; they embody a woman’s inner strength and individuality. “A pearl speaks to a woman’s essence,” she affirms, “It transcends fleeting trends and encapsulates the essence of celebrating one’s heritage while crafting a unique narrative.”
Raised among academics with no familial ties to the jewelry business, entrepreneurship seemed a distant dream for Shiyamali in her formative years. Yet armed with a Master’s degree and an unwavering belief in herself, she embarked on a corporate career, knowing that her true calling would someday beckon her. Shiyamali’s journey was guided by an unwavering belief in her vision and a decade-long quest for self-discovery.
In 2011, she quietly began accumulating the knowledge and skills necessary to forge her own path. This period of self-discovery marked the genesis of L’Amour Pearls. By 2021, armed with self-belief and courage, Shiyamali took a pivotal leap. She transformed her passion project from a personal pursuit into a full-fledged brand by leveraging her background in technology and artificial intelligence to create a global e-store model fit for the modern era of innovative pearl brands.
Though initially launched in Toronto, Canada, L’Amour Pearls’ appeal extends far beyond borders. The Ontario government recognized L’Amour Pearls’ global appeal and impact by honoring them with the prestigious Women’s Enterprise Award in 2022. This award acknowledges the brand’s exceptional contribution to businesses owned by women.
