Sunshine Jewelry: A Legacy of Love and Gold
Sunshine Jewelry wasn’t born overnight—it was built out of sheer grit, love, and a little bit of family magic.
Our parents’ journey started far away in Cambodia, where life was once simple and joyful; However, everything changed in 1975, when the Khmer Rouge war swept through their world, taking everything they knew and loved. Forced into labor camps, our parents clung to each other and their hope for a better life. They married in 1978, not for love, but for survival, finding peace in the promise of facing the war together.
When they arrived in America, they faced a new battle—language barriers and long hours working multiple jobs. In 1992, they opened a Chinese takeout restaurant, working seven days a week from dawn until late into the night. Despite the hardship, our family stayed strong, and in 1999, our uncle, a goldsmith, offered a life-changing opportunity—opening a jewelry store together. That’s when Sunshine Jewelry was born.
For us, it wasn’t just a business—it was a chance for our family to finally be together, to have dinners at the table, and to create memories they had missed out on in the past. They poured everything into making the store a success, and it paid off. Sunshine became the go-to spot for families sharing their stories, celebrating life’s milestones, and, of course, finding the perfect piece of gold.
Fast forward to today, and Sunshine Jewelry is not just a store—it’s a symbol of our family’s resilience and love. Now, as we celebrate 25 years, we're stepping into a new chapter with a fresh vision. We’re growing with a second location in Media, PA, where we’re blending tradition with innovation. You can shop our iconic pieces, try something new, or even get creative with bracelet-making classes, permanent jewelry sessions, and ear-piercing parties.
At Sunshine, jewelry isn’t just about gold—it’s about the stories it carries. Every piece we create is crafted with purpose, honoring the legacy our parents built while shaping the future of our brand. We invite you to join us on this journey, to celebrate the past, embrace the future, and find a piece of jewelry that speaks to your heart.
With love,
Laila & Aleena
