Ketrampilan menciptakan perhiasan diperoleh saat berjalan-jalan di Pasar Jatinegara, Jakarta. Saat itu Vivi melihat ada perhiasan yang terdiri dari perhiasan mote atau manik-manik terbuat dari plastik. ‘’Dari situlah saya tertarik membuat perhiasan dari mutiara, pengganti plastik tadi,’’ tuturnya ibu 4 orang anak. 

Salah satu putrinya pernah bertugas di China dan mengenakan perhiasan bikinan ibunya. ‘’Banyak yang tertarik dan membeli perhiasan itu,’’ tutur Vivi yang mendapatkan pelajaran menciptakan perhiasan dari nenek dan ibunya.
