Learn more about the Paradise Found collection
The Paradise Found jewelry concept evolved organically from Vernon’s hugely popular Sado-Chic collection that launched in 1992. Subsequently Vernon realized that the luxury market did not take into consideration the sacred art of loving. She understood that her jewelry could fulfill this need; it could bestow sensorial pleasure, reinforce intimate bonds and encourage sensual exploration as well as please the eye.
The Paradise Found collection is a sublime celebration of sensual vitality. As well as subtly functional items that discreetly honor the importance of pleasure in our lives, the collection features Vernon’s innovative ‘Jewel-Tools.’ She coined this term in the ’90’s to describe her unique and daring new concept in which jewels also become the means to self-empowerment and enhanced satisfaction.
