Debora Hakim is the designer and brains behind the Debora Tassel Collection. She started creating necklaces seven years ago when her late husband Sam bought a bag of old graduated, Akoya rice pearls with the request to make something for herself as well as her three daughters. Debora designed beautiful necklaces with black spinnel beads for herself and daughters. As soon as her friends, family, and neighbors caught a glimpse of her creations, she went "viral", and began to design more jewelry using baroque pearls and other semi-precious stones as per request. This was just the beginning. Today, the Debora Tassel Collection has a great variety and multitude of unique necklaces and bracelets.
