Sheila's artistic journey began in Italy in the 1960s, working alongside Franco Zeffirelli in theatre, film, and opera, an experience that she describes as her "education" and which opened her eyes to the world of art and the beauty surrounding her in Rome. She then spent two decades revitalizing the historic perfume house Penhaligon's, launching new scents and redefining the giftbook market with unique, scented anthologies. Inspired by her time working in Florence during the flood of 1966, Sheila realized the profound value of the past and its enduring influence. Today, she channels her creative spark and energy into the world of jewelry, creating a 21st-century online experience that highlights inspiration and provenance.
