Shirley started designing all kinds of jewellery such as rings necklaces, bracelets and more. In the beginning, she designed for family and friends, and as the interest for her work grew quickly, she began selling to different shops in Caracas, Valencia, Mérida and Puerto La Cruz in Venezuela. In 2002, she decided to open a jewellery shop in east Caracas enabling her to display her work, attend to her clients in a more personal way and reach a wider audience.
