My name is Charlotte

My name is Charlotte and I'm a 13 year old entrepreneur. I create fu, whimsical jewellery to express one's individuality in Australia. My earrings and jewellery are made with polymer clay and high quality stainless steel jewellery findings. I donate 10% of the profits of each product sold to Breakthrough T1D because I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 5 years old, so it's a cause very close to my heart. Other than making earrings, I enjoy doing escape rooms, camping, reading, playing netball, acting, baking and talking. I hope you'll support my business by purchasing some unique jewellery.

My Story

Pocket Pals all started with Terry, the bluebird. My sister asked me if I wanted to create a bird out of craft with her and so I said yes. I picked out some supplies- pipe cleaners, beads, foam shapes (and yes, I know, not very eco-friendly)- and got to work. I continued to twist and glue and cut until he was perfect! Once he was finished I took a good look at him. It was then that I had a brilliant idea to sell these little figurines on Facebook- I sold all 8 in the first day!

I loved every minute of business and continued to grow my small business. It was one Christmas that I got an earring making kit to make Christmas presents that I found a love in earring making. I read a business book about Kid businesses and then I desperately wanted a proper business. I started up a Facebook page and got to work advertising my products. I got orders, and business had never been better! I did markets and asked shops if they'd sell my products. Soon enough Pocket Pals thriving!

Since I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 5, I donate 10% of the profits to JDRF. I still continue to grow my business and I love every minute of it. I hope you'll support my business by purchasing some unique jewellery.
