Jewelry design

Curry's work with jewelry began while she was making The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement as she used her time during breaks to create jewelry items to give to other women in the cast. What began as "a fun little hobby" grew into doing trunk shows. Then friends began requesting creation of jewelry items, which she called "very much statement pieces". Eventually the hobby became a business, Shameless Jewelry, based on Curry's trademark style of including good girl/bad girl elements in each of her creations. Most of them are pewter plated with gold or sterling silver.
