Some journeys take an unexpected turn, leading us somewhere we never imagined—yet somehow, exactly where we belong. 

 

My journey as a designer began in the world of hair. After 4 plus decades as a hairstylist, I became frustrated with the lack of beautiful, high-quality bridal accessories. The market was flooded with cheap, hard-to-work-with pieces that did nothing to enhance a bride’s beauty. I knew they deserved better—so I swooped in hoping to elevate the experience for brides.

​

I began designing bespoke bridal hairpieces, crafting delicate, ethereal adornments that made brides feel like royalty on their most special day. But in 2020, as the world shifted, so did my path.

​

The art of jewelry-making found me when I needed it most, offering me an escape, a new creative outlet, and a way to channel my passion for timeless elegance. As I worked with pearls, something stirred deep within me—a connection to the past, to my mother, to the woman I have become.

​

My mother, who passed in 2023, had a love affair with pearls. Living in Hawaii, she would visit street vendors at every opportunity, choosing an oyster, watching in wonder as the shell was pried open to reveal its hidden treasure. Pearls brought her pure, unfiltered joy—and I had forgotten about that until I found myself drawn to them in my own work. It was as if, on the day she left this world, she quietly took residence within me.

​

And so, Rae Lyneé Designs was born. 

​

Every piece I create is infused with story, emotion, and the beauty of discovery—just like those pearls my mother loved so much. My jewelry is more than an accessory; it is a reminder of strength, elegance, and the magic of transformation. Whether you’re a bride stepping into forever or a dreamer embracing your own light, these designs are made for you.
