Shazia Merchant
Upcycled Glass Jewellery to Bottle-Cutting Art
Shazia Merchant’s artistic journey began amidst a family legacy where creativity was woven into everyday life. A graduate with a Home Science Diploma from M.S. University, she grew up surrounded by colours, textures, and the spirit of innovation. Under the guidance of her father and mentor, Artist Raees Ahmed Merchant, Shazia first discovered her passion for handcrafted jewellery, transforming upcycled glass into distinctive wearable art that reflects elegance, individuality, and sustainability. Each creation embodies her belief that discarded materials can be reborn with purpose and beauty.
As her creative vision evolved, Shazia embraced the intricate craft of bottle-cutting art, bringing the same storytelling spirit and eco-conscious philosophy to a new medium. Today, alongside her celebrated jewellery collections, she is exploring innovative bottle-cutting techniques that turn everyday glass bottles into functional works of art. This new chapter continues her mission of honoring heritage, championing sustainable design, and inspiring others to see endless possibilities in materials often overlooked.
