Seattle, WA | Shamila knows her gems: where they originate, what they symbolize, how to wear them. She is an artist and an archaeologist, unpacking the layers of meaning beneath a piece. So when you purchase something that she has designed and shaped, know that it's both an artifact and a narrative. And it makes a difference. To know that your pendant symbolizes new beginnings. To realize that you carry an ancient symbol for happiness. So you tell others. It's an act of conscious consumption not a frivolous one, though she certainly knows her glitter, too. Shamila proves the exception to the rule: all that glitters can be gold. | Lavanya Sundararajan
Tacoma, Wa | A sensual experience. Gems that could be from India or Iberia, from Turkey or Thailand
from London or Lithuania. Colors that enchant. Not just any blue, but cobalt, cornflower, cyan, Prussian, powder and Turquoise blue.
Necklaces that warmly embrace my neck, pendants that sit on my heart, earrings that twinkle, drops that dance and kiss my cheek.
Growing up my mother always said, long lustrous hair is woman's best accessory. I agree. Long, lustrous hair and a pair of Shamila's earrings.
Because when I wear hers, I sweep my hair up to let the earrings mesmerize and dance with me as the evening goes by. | Yolanda Smith

Blue Topaz Engagement Ring Client | As if the ring weren't enough... amazingly delicious chocolaty goodness too? What a surprise and treat of course would have been 10x the fun if you would have popped out of that cute little box too, alas. Despite the lack of your beautiful bits shaking up the dance floor, your spirit, love and talent was truly expressed when that ring was perfectly placed on my finger - a super WOW from all. THANK YOU for the ever energetic beats you add to our hearts! | Bridget Zehring
Seattle, WA | I am a client of Shamila’s and I love the color and quality of stones she uses in her work. There is a lot of semi-precious jewelry out there to choose from and I think that quality of Shamila’s stones set her apart from the crowd. I have been to Shamila’s trunk shows and shopped with her personally in her studio and it is a joy for me every time I pick out a new piece with her. Her eye for design and her appreciation for people’ s individual style make her not only a good designer but she also never sells you something that doesn’t look exquisite on you. I have to say that every time I wear a piece of her jewelry (and I have quite a few!) someone stops me to admire whatever it is I am wearing and to ask me where I purchased it. |
