Welcome to Pretty Pineapple Bead, where each and every piece tells a vibrant story of creativity, confidence, and compassion.
We are more than your average colorful handmade jewelry brand; we are a celebration of self-expression and empowerment with a positive impact.
Our Story
Picture July 7th, 2017: it was a day filled with a little sparkle, a lot of hopes, and big dreams. On this day, artisan jewelry designer, Cassandra King, established Pretty Pineapple Bead.
Cassandra pours her heart and soul into designing every single piece of colorful jewelry in her home in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Pretty Pineapple Bead is a manifestation of Cassandra’s passion to bring beauty into the world and empower women. The pineapple is a symbol of welcome, and we want you to feel welcome to express yourself confidently.
For the first two years, Cassandra immersed herself in the enchanting world of jewelry design. She experimented with all sorts of fun techniques to create pieces that are unique and inspiring.
In 2019, Cassandra brought her colorful creations to craft shows and began to create magical connections with the local community.
The challenges of the pandemic became an opportunity for online growth. Learning valuable lessons about transitioning business online, Cassandra laid the foundation for a digital presence.
Gradually, our website was beginning to develop, and our social media channels began to blossom into a colorful community full of confident and empowering women.
Fast forward to 2021, and we’re back at the craft shows, combining the magic of in-person connections with the reach of our online platforms. We’re spreading joy and positivity everywhere we go!
In late 2022, we started to stock an assortment of our fabulous jewelry at Oldies & Goodies, a vintage and artisan boutique in downtown White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
We introduced the DIY Bead Bar as an extension of our presence at craft shows in 2022. This interactive experience allowed customers to create their own stretchy bracelets from a variety of colorful beads and charms. It was an absolute hit!
In 2023, we expanded the DIY experience by offering private parties, where groups could gather to craft together and create unique jewelry pieces.
Now in 2024, the DIY Bead Bar continues to evolve. Alongside our stretchy bracelets, we're excited to introduce beadable pens, adding another dimension of creativity to the experience.
Our jewelry travels far and wide. In fact, as of 2024, we have sent our colorful jewelry to 14 different states!
