As a master goldsmith and certified gemologist, Sharon has devoted over 35 years to designing and crafting exquisite fine jewelry. Her creations have graced the runway at Couture Fashion Week in New York and have been featured in prestigious art and jewelry exhibitions nationwide. Sharon pursued her education at Penn State University, completing her undergraduate degree in fine art and earning her master's in metal arts.
During the initial decade of her career, Sharon served as a full-time 3D art and jewelry instructor. Even in her current role as a full-time jewelry designer, participating in 18-20 shows annually, she takes pleasure in mentoring apprentices. Sharon's profound love for precious metals and stones serves as the driving force behind her work, and she consistently strives for perfection in her designs.
She employs a combination of hand-crafted wax carving and jewelry design software to push the boundaries of what is achievable in design. Sharon maintains a primary design line while actively seeking exceptional museum-quality stones to craft stunning one-of-a-kind pieces throughout the year. Embracing custom projects and bespoke work, she creates an exciting and engaging adventure for her clients, eliminating guesswork through the integration of software and handcraft.
All completed pieces undergo appraisal, photography, and archival in a secured digital management system. These files are accessible at any time for insurance claims and replacement values, streamlining processes and providing clients with the capability to email information directly to their insurance companies.
Celebrities, well-known athletic coaches, and collectors from around the world are part of the Sharon Teaman Designs following. Sharon’s goal is to elevate jewelry to the status of art and create heirlooms treasured for generations to come.
