Beautiful, Unique and stunning are a few words that leapt to my mind the minute I first saw the Pure Passion line of jewelry.

The colours, textures and designs were simply spectacular, I had never seen anything like it in my life and it left me mesmerized.

Bright blue agate slices fused with brightly coloured stones, a fossilized fish suspended in time, and an intricate sterling silver mask pendant were just some of the pieces that caught my eye and refused to let go.

The genius behind pure passion is Shyam Hettiarachchi, the Designer and creator of Pure Passion.

I met up with Shyam to find out more about her fascinating world.
