About Monique Pean:

Monique Péan was raised in Washington D.C. and has traveled the world, visiting more than 30 countries. Monique is thankful that her mother, Gail, solidly encouraged her to pursue her love of art. She credits her inspiration to the art and cultures encountered during her travels to destinations such as Haiti, Bali, Russia, Egypt, Brazil, China, Greece and more. With a Haitian father and American Jewish mother, Monique was no doubt inspired by her own heritage.

Education:

Before founding her accessories company, Monique worked in finance and took fashion design classes in New York for three years. Monique graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where she majored in Philosophy, Political Science and Economics.

Quote from Monique Pean:

Each piece of Monica Pean jewelry is unique and hand crafted. I aspire to enhance the individual through wearable art.

Where to Buy Monique Pean Jewelry:

Monique Pean jewelry is available at many retail stores. The company plans to add a shopping option to its own Web site.
