In a world surrounded by technology, we need fashion created by technology!
My name is Sheza, I am 17 years old, and I am the founder of Techlery! Techlery is the tech jewelry for the tech generation. I create jewelry using electronic and hardware components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, circuit boards, etc. These components are typically used on circuits and in technology hardware, however, I decided to put a little spin on it.
My jewelry also aims to work against e-waste! 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed of worldwide every year. Sadly, only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled. Although not all my pieces consist of recycled materials, I re-use some components that are no longer of use.
I live in the bay area and it is full of people working in the tech industry. These jewelry designs can be worn by them or by students at school, at parties, or any other functions!
