I've been so busy putting things in my new store that I haven't had time to update this website in several weeks. All of my new earrings are in my Etsy store at NightSkyJewelry.etsy.com.  Please visit me there, where you will have the luxury of a shopping cart, and will find a few pieces on sale!  I hope to see you there! As always, feel free to contact me anytime at nightskyq (at) gmail.com

 

Night Sky Silver Designs-Sterling Silver Andalusite and Champlagne Citrine Earrings-HandcraftedWelcome! This website started off as a temporary  place to show my designs to friends and family, but it's actually begun to stir interest from other people so I made up a name and bought business cards. Unfortunately, I misspelled "artisan" and had to get them reprinted, but that's a whole nother story.

My name is Sharon and I have been designing and crafting jewelry for about 35 years. As a wax artist, I've been lucky enough to work with many highly skilled and imaginative jewelers in the Salt Lake Valley for almost three decades.  Preferring wax work over metal and stone work, I was happy to discover that my talents were appreciated and needed by these fine craftsmen. However, in time, everything gets old (even me!) and for a while I tried out other money-making endeavors. I even took a stab at retail (not very good at pushing things on people, so not my best career choice) and eventually I landed the FUN job of making titanium rings. This was one of my favorite jobs, but it was really hard on my hands and wrists, so eventually I ended up back in the wax biz. I was becoming very bored, and not feeling very creative, when I discovered beaders! I was fascinated by the wonderful jewelry these people were making with silver wire and gemstones beads. Had to give it a go. And guess what? I found out I'm pretty good at it, and I LOVE it!  While I still have my "real" job at James Hardwick Jewelers, I find so much pleasure when I sit down with my beads and silver and get lost in the process of designing and crafting! So browse around and see what you think of my work. Comments and questions are always welcome! Contact me via email anytime.

My beads are natural stone unless otherwise stated. I love to use well-known and popular stones, as well as the more unique and unusual. New favorites include blue and green Kyanite, Andalusite, Russian Lepidolite, Gaspeite, and Prehnite. All of the silver components, including wire, headpins, beads and charms are at least Sterling, and many are Thai or Bali which has a higher silver content than Sterling. :-) Generally my pieces are one of a kind, but sometimes I can make a similar piece upon request. Don't hesitate to zip me an email if you have questions.  If you find something you can't live without, let me know and we can work out payment and delivery details. I accept PayPal and checks, and will ship the day after payment is received or cleared.

Have a super day! Thanks for dropping in.

 

You will notice that many of the earrings shown on these pages are sold. I'm keeping the pictures up so you can see the variety of styles and stones available. If you see a style you like but it is marked sold, please email me. It's possible that I can make another pair that is similar. It is impossible to make them exactly the same because no two beads are identical, and the silver work is handcrafted so there will always be differences. Plus, if I made exact copies, it would kind of ruin the "One of a Kind" thing.
