Shimmy Radhakrishnan, based here in Oman, was introduced to
jewelry making by her friend and eventually starting making beautiful pieces
using different mediums and materials led
to her dream venture called JewelBox. When I met her in person, I realized how
artistic she is with her designs emphasizing colour and texture, handcrafted
and specializing in ethnic designs.
Here is what Shimmy had to say regarding her passion
When did you get started with JewelBox?
JewelBox was born on July 15 2012
What inspired you to start this? Did you take any formal
training to start this venture?
After years of corporate work I decided to take a break and enjoyed
taking care of the family but I had some extra time in hand which I wanted to
utilize. I wanted to do something which will make me happy. It was around the
same time a friend of mine had started doing jewelry. I really loved the idea
and joined for a 3 hour course on jewelry making as I always had a passion for
fashion accessories:) It was so addictive that I could never stop doing it and
that led to the birth of JewelBox!!
Do you provide any jewelry making
classes?
As of now, I am not providing any classes.
Are most of your jewelry pieces unique?
Majority of the pieces in JewelBox are unique but there are a few
which are replicated based on request and I take customized orders as well.
Do you have a physical or virtual store? How do you
market or sell your creations?
I have a virtual
store and it’s through my Face book page :) I do most of the marketing through
that and also planning to have one on Etsy soon. And I participate in exhibitions
and events where I showcase my jewelry.
