Tharika founded Blue Pendulum Jewelry brand, which is based in Winnipeg, in the year 2014. She started creating jewelry as an experiment to work with resin. And her love for inner workings of watches made her combine them with resin to create one of a kind jewelry pieces. Her attention to detail and unique designs made it an instant hit at the local craft markets.

Fast-forward to today, Blue Pendulum has evolved into a much bigger brand with a broader offering of jewelry for both women and men. But our commitment to using quality materials and designing unique jewelry has been the heart and soul of the brand from day one and will continue to be.
