You have to love stories like this.

Jennifer Heath is an American citizen living in Fiji. She married a local man but after 12 years of marriage he decided to divorce her and move back to the US. This left her on her own with children to support.

Then, in 2004, she and her ex decided that since neither one was seeing anybody they would meet in California for Christmas. After the celebrations, instead of flying back to Fiji, Ms. Heath decided to fly to London and Asia to shop for pearls, which she had always loved.

A jewellery business was born.

She started by selling at her local market, but now works from her home in Lami, with nine other employees working for her. In 18 months, her business has taken her around the world six times. While her customers are mostly commercial, many individuals buy from her, especially for weddings.

The best part? While at the market, she met Richard Heath, originally from Napier, New Zealand. They are now married, and Mr. Heath has quit his job with the Hawkes Bay Chamber of Commerce to work for his wife.

From the death of a marriage comes a truly new life.
