Maggie Rhodes Shapack spent over 10 years focusing on her career in retail; corporate buying for a 250 store retailer and then a management position for a luxury retailer. After taking a jewelry class in LA she fell in love with making jewelry and the magic of gemstones. In 2004 Zoe Oliver was created to heal and protect, naming her business after her sister (Zoe) and nephew (Oliver).

“I can identify with so many of the stones' energies. Not only identify, I need so many of the stones energies!” says 34 year old Maggie. “I design for women like myself. I love fashion and beautiful things, yet I have a very spiritual & holistic approach to life. Having experienced the all-too-familiar ups and downs, heartbreaks, and life’s “scratches”, Zoe Oliver is my not-so-classic cure to all of life’s agonizing ailments.”

Maggie was named one of Gen Art’s Fresh Faces for 2005. Maggie resides in Chicago.
