Thanks for visiting Jewels by Shari!! I'm thrilled to have you here!

I'm a glass bead and jewelry artist, meaning I make many of my own glass beads and I create jewelry. Other than glass, I like to use metals such as sterling silver and copper, along with various types of stone in my jewelry creations

---

I hand-make many of my own lampwork or art-glass beads and offer many of them in sets or singles on this online store, or through my listings at eBay or Etsy. Please see the Venues page for more information.

I usually use soft or soda-lime glass in my beads, and ALWAYS anneal them in my digitally controlled kiln, relieving internal stresses caused in the creation process, which is an important step in ensuring long lasting strength and durability. Why?
