The Silver Turtle: Embracing Steady Progress

In building her premium condiment brand The Garden of Eva from scratch, this charm symbolizes the patient persistence required in entrepreneurship. Like a cherished piece of jewellery, success often comes from steady, thoughtful progress rather than rushed decisions.

The Baroque Pearl: Beauty Through Adversity

Selecting a silver baroque pearl charm, Eva draws a powerful parallel between personal growth and nature's own transformation process. "Just as pearls form from friction and pressure, my journey from university professor to food entrepreneur has been shaped by challenges," she reflects. This elegant charm represents how life's irritants can become our most beautiful transformations.

The Silver Acorn: Growing Dreams Into Reality

Eva's journey from epiphany to award-winning food entrepreneur is captured in her silver acorn charm. "The dream for The Garden of Eva began unexpectedly in a Boston supermarket parking lot. Like an acorn, the idea needed time to germinate. Through years of careful nurturing – while working as a governance advisor in Liberia, relocating to the UK, and raising my son – I kept tending to this seed of an idea.

In 2020, receiving permanent UK residence and acceptance into Mission Kitchen's accelerator program felt like the first green shoots breaking through. By May 2021, when I officially incorporated the business, that tiny acorn had sprouted into a sapling. Today, it's growing into a young tree, with branches reaching into collaborations with Honest Burgers, listings in Whole Foods Market and Selfridges, industry awards, and recognition as a rising UK food and drink star. Like any growing tree, I continue nurturing it, hoping it will one day provide shelter and sustenance for others."
