Chloe is the founder and creative director of Chloe Shay Jewellery. The CSJ brand is self-titled after Chloe and her middle name, ‘Shay’.

From a young age, creativity has championed Chloe Shay’s childhood. During her final year of school, Chloe completed a VET course in Fashion Design at TAFESA. This opportunity paved her creative pathway into fashion design and later, jewellery design.

Chloe Shay’s foray into jewellery commenced in 2003. She designed and hand crafted bold, asymmetric beaded jewellery while continuing her studies in Fashion Design, beyond school.

Working with jewellery sparked more interest and she shifted her focus to Jewellery design. Chloe’s wearable works of art evolved as she completed a Bachelor of Visual Art and Applied Design (Jewellery Major) at Adelaide Centre for the Arts in 2009. During her studies, she was invited to be an Access Tenant at Adelaide’s renowned Gray Street Workshop, an impressive coup for any aspiring designer.

Since then, Chloe has carved out a name for herself as a contemporary jewellery designer among Adelaide’s iconic design markets, interstate trade fairs and retail outlets.

Chloe currently works from her eclectic studio space in Adelaide, specialising in handmade sterling silver jewellery and bespoke Engagement and Wedding jewellery.

Chloe draws design inspiration from her love of asymmetry, timeless everyday style, bold geometric shapes with a penchant for textures.

Her keen eye for detail coupled with exceptional craftsmanship has garnered Chloe Shay a reputation for a distinguished jewellery experience.
