Night Sky Jewelry Silver Designs

For Updates & Special Discounts:

Me 'n' My Budgie My name is Sharon and I've 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 gemstone 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 gemstone beads are genuine stone unless otherwise stated. I love to use well-known and popular stones, as well as the more unique and unusual. My favorites include blue and green Kyanite, Tourmaline, Andalusite, Russian Lepidolite, Gaspeite, Chalcedony (in every color imaginable!), Prehnite, and the vast variety and colors of quartz.

I also love to work with vintage glass, ancient Roman glass, and sea glass. The Roman Glass and Sea Glass are new passions for me.

All of the silver components, including wire, headpins, beads and charms are Sterling Silver or Thai or Bali silver, which have a higher silver content than Sterling. Thai (Hill Tribe) silver is 99% pure and although it's not accurate, is often referred to as "fine silver".

Gold Filled wire and components are not the same as gold plated. The gold is a very heavy layer of gold that is bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal. Given proper care, it will not rub or wear off. It is considered a life-time metal, and offers an affordable alternative now that gold is over $1500/ounce!

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.
