 Twin designers of Lulet, Wendy and Michelle Arbeit are inspired by the unusual and the ordinary alike: a flower, a bridge, Greek mythology, and a martini are all fair game.
Lulet's interpretation of light-hearted, upscale whimsy is apparent in all of its designs: sterling silver is fashioned into whimsical bows, ribbons, butterflies, and tulips; tiny bellflowers dance gracefully with Swarovski crystals; and a Chinese saltwater pearl becomes a glowing orb balancing dramatically on an architecturally inspired symmetrical band.
The whimsical designs maintain a distinct hand-worked appearance and are never "perfect" or commonplace.
Materials are not limited to sterling silver—18K gold, lamp-worked glass, gems, pearls and found objects are all sources of inspiration.
Lulet means "flowers" in Albanian and "female pearl" in Amharic.

 Adrien Lucas originally hails from Youngstown, Ohio.
Taught to embroider at an early age by her aunt, Ms. Lucas would often drive her Dodge Dart to Pittsburgh and Cleveland to view textile displays at various museums.
Her interest in fabrics and design made her a regular at the local thrift stores, where she would search out vintage clothes embellished with beading or embroidery.
By disassembling purses and clothing that were beyond repair, she taught herself sewing and began a collection of vintage beads and trim that she still uses today.
The day after her high school graduation, Ms. Lucas boarded a plane for Los Angeles.
While in LA, she used her design skills to embellish many pieces of clothing for herself and her friends.
Her creations caught the attention of an Elvis impersonator who was also the lead singer of "Dread Zeppelin."
