Sharleen of Dragonfly Gems

“129 Jade Passion”

$210.00

Sharleen is a fellow designer, currently residing in Connecticut, who creates one-of-a-kind jewelry. She has been “making jewelry for a couple of years now and selling it to a local jewelry shop. She found Etsy and decided to branch out.” She says, “I love to work with Sterling Silver so you will find that all my jewelry is made with it.”

Sharleen’s favorite materials to use are silver and semi-precious stones. The inspiration for her creations comes from her “gemstones & beads, a desire to be different and her huband’s loving support.”

This amazing jewelry artist gained her training from ”a Jewelry & Metalsmithing class in high school and has self taught the rest from there”! She also has gained knowledge from pointers by other artisans. 

“Black Beauty”

$25.00

Sharleen describes herself as “a 36 year old mom, married to a wonderful man with a few kids and cats. She loves nature, animals and square houses- hoping to own one some day.” Sharleen works part time as a Bookkeeper, and her favorite hobby is photography.  She “loves to take pictures of everything from bugs to trees to people to beautiful sunsets.”

When asked why people should check out her shop, Sharleen responded, “I make each piece with the best materials I can find. Most of my items are one of a kind. I try to make unique and interesting pieces. Something that someone will feel happy to have on and want to brag about it and where they got it.” Makes me want to go shop right now!
