Created by designer Robert Noia, EMPRLS stands for Empower Pearls. The pearls are a current fashion choice representing a gender-fluid approach to style while recalling icons from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to Harry Styles.

EMPRLS has a critical mission in its inception and design, as each necklace is attached with a delicate pink triangle. The pink triangle respectfully remembers and symbolizes the gay victims and survivors of the Holocaust. Further, the triangle represents one of the first symbols of LGBTQ pride.

For each necklace purchased, EMPRLS will make a donation to an organization that strives to better the lives of LGBTQ+ people and works towards building a world of equality where everyone can live their truth.
