Shelly Lynch was born and raised in Hartsville, SC, and has made her home in Charleston in 2001. She began crafting jewelry in 2010 after learning to cut stones in 2006. Her ability to cut stones along with her dedication to using original components such as porcupine quills and bullet shells enables her to create jewelry unique and customizable for her clientele.“I love making custom pieces for clients, because it’s challenging and rewarding when you’ve created a piece that speaks to someone’s personality.”Shelly’s southern roots have provided the inspiration for many of her pieces with the name of her company, Zinnialou, coming from her free-spirited aunt. Her inspiration for her jewelry line is derived from a perfect combination of music, nature & travel.
