Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve said hi.✨ I’m Sharon and I’m the face behind my jewellery label, SHAZOEY. I’m a mum of 2 and I make each and every piece of jewellery here by hand in my little Sydney studio.
A few things you may not know -
✨ The name ‘SHAZOEY’ is a combination of both mine and my husband’s names. He was my biggest supporter starting out, and still is now :)
✨ I stayed up until 2am editing photos for my first collection, and my second daughter was born less than 24 hours later! I should have known when my “stomach ache” was getting worse.. and it was 2 days before my expected due date. I was excited about my launch and wanted to get things done!
✨ I will be celebrating 10 years of SHAZOEY this August 2023! I started out on etsy (and still have a shop there 😌)
✨ I studied Architecture at university. I will always still appreciate good building design and love all things beautiful, though I don’t see myself going back anytime soon. I am very grateful for what I do now - to have the flexibility to be here for my kids when they need me, and to be there for their school activities. So incredibly thankful to all of you who are supporting our little family in this way!!
✨ My first unintentional foray at entrepreneurship was back in high school. I ended up selling most of my HSC final works to friends and family, and also to my Headmistress, who then also commissioned me for a special piece. I gave the rest away to close family. I made paper cut-outs using a tiny surgeon’s scalpel, and my artwork featured bridges from all around the world. Little did I know that was my first stepping stone into starting a small business 🤍
