Music inspired jewellery range
Adelaide Confidential
14dec04
SHE has handled snakes for Fiona Horne, lived with The Mavis's, and grew up with
Kasey Chambers.
It's no surprise then that when North Adelaide designer Sarah Murphy launched
her jewellery line – Glamazon Valley – it was musically-inspired.
"It's very punk rock or rock 'n' roll, anyway," the 30-year-old laughs.
"I use a lot of skulls, cast charms, Swarovksi crystals and pearls ... my
influences are Vivienne Westwood, punk rock and Audrey Hepburn."
With the help of designer friend Chloe Papazahariakis, Sarah's range is now
featured in New York boutiques – Elizabeth Charles, Bigdrop and Institut.
Adelaide stockists include Shop 5, Miss Gladys Sym Choon, Sooki and Whistles.
Her jewellery – including earrings, cameo brooches, kilt pins and wallet chains
– has also attracted celeb customers such as singer Natalie Miller, model Chloe
Maxwell and Rove McManus's fiance Belinda Emmett.
Sarah grew up on Kangaroo Island and boarded at Pembroke School. It was when she
returned to country SA – helping to book entertainment for her parents' hotel in
Robe – that she fell into the music industry. Sarah met The Mavis's when Matt
Mavis was dating media personality/white witch Fiona Horne. She ended up
becoming Fiona's personal assistant for two years.
Book signings with Fiona were an interesting experience.
"She quite often used her snakes in rituals, so I'd have to get the snakes out
and pass them to her," Sarah laughs.
