The Silpada Story
Every woman has a story to tell and we feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to share our personal story with so many others. Our start came from just being friends, a couple of moms, who both happen to really love jewellery—especially fine Sterling Silver Jewellery.
Bonnie Kelly & Teresa Walsh, Silpada Designs' Co-foundersWe first met when the oldest of each of our three children started first grade. Fatefully, we had both signed up to be room mothers and immediately became the best of friends. After chatting about how we could earn a little extra cash, we tried a few new business ideas. We had a lot of fun, but it wasn’t until we each took $25 from our grocery fund and pursued our passion for Sterling Silver Jewellery that we really began to love our “jobs.” We started designing our own jewellery creations and hosting what we called “A Fun Ladies’ Night out Playing Dress-up with Jewellery!”™ Quickly, one party led to another, and, it wasn’t long before Hostesses and Customers began telling us, “You look like you are having so much fun. We wish we could have your jobs!”
So in 1997, after hundreds of successful parties, we began our journey and launched Silpada Designs in the United States. We created an exclusive line of Silpada Designs Sterling Silver Jewellery and our very first Silpada Designs Catalogue. Friends and Customers became independent Silpada Designs Representatives. In 2008, we began offering the same life-changing Silpada business opportunity to women in Canada.
Today, there are thousands of independent Representatives chasing their dreams, and we're happy to say that our basement-born business is helping to bring each of their dreams to life, which is, for us, the truest and most rewarding part of our journey. Our story goes to show that with a little passion and a sincere desire to help others, anything is possible. We're glad you stopped by our site and hope that one of the many benefits Silpada offers has a place in your life. We know you have your very own story to tell, and we can't wait to hear it!
Wishing You a Shining Day and a Sterling Future!™
