Hot stuff: Carola Bun’s pearl necklaces

Carola Bun’s pearl necklaces are a stop-in-your-tracks sight to behold. They have an almost exaggerated sense of classical elegance at their core.

Embellished with Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones, and gold and silver charms, these pearls take on a fashion sense all their own and can be paired with a bridal gown or a weekend wife-beater for equal drama and flair.

Born in Calgary in 1987, Carola was an accomplished child who competed in horseback riding, swimming, diving, ballet, and modeling. She learned fashion and creative skills from her mother and grandmother who were both professional couture seamstresses.

As an adult, she founded The House of Bun, which is the launching pad for her creative entrepreneurial pursuits. Carola also designs perfumes which are sold internationally.
