Meet the Artist

Hello, Good day, Kia Ora, Mabuhay, Magandang araw! Thank you for coming by and checking out my online shop! You can also find my handmade goods at selected artisan markets around Wellington and festivals around New Zealand.

💚 I’m Paola. I handmade every earrings in our home in Wellington, New Zealand. I love creating pieces that bring joy and confidence in others!

💚 I’m originally from the Philippines and moved to New Zealand 11 years ago to pursue my teaching career.

💚 I’m a full-time Kindergarten teacher during the day and a small business owner/polymer clay artist at night. And of course, I am a mum and a wife 24/7. Everyone asks me when do I find the time in doing everything and the answer is “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” 😉

💚I met Terence who is my kiwi husband, number one supporter and the love of my life 8 years ago in an Irish pub in Wellington. We have a three year old boy who brings absolute joy in our hearts. They are both my rock and inspiration. I couldn’t live my life without them.

💚 I’ve been an early childhood teacher since I graduated in 2008. I’ve always been good at creating crafty things and I recently discovered jewellery making last year via social media. Since then, I attended online courses of jewellery making, polymer clay and small business.

💚Why name your brand ‘Ear Vibes’? I make a variety of earring collections that will surely give you different vibes to feel empowered! Plus…you’re a vibe!!! I take my inspiration from all aspects of my life; from my passion for nature to my love for artistic creativity and self-expression.

💚 I’m a food lover, nature lover, beach lover, plant lover, fashion lover, aesthetics lover, social media lover, shoe lover and handmade jewellery lover!!!

💚I feel that it’s time to quit being selfish with my craft and start sharing them with all of you guys. God has given me a path to take and I feel that this is an amazing start to where I am supposed to be and my purpose in life. Hope you enjoy my obsession with making reels and creating unique statement earrings.
