During the month of August, the Artisans Downtown Gallery
& Gifts will be featuring an exhibit of original handcrafted jewelry by
Jewelry Designer & Member Artist Stephani Moore, Owner of Sparkling
Creations Jewelry. Originally from the
Richmond area, Stephanie moved to the Shenandoah Valley in 2001 to attend James
Madison University, where she received both a Bachelors and a Masters Degree in
European History. After graduation,
Stephanie decided to remain in Harrisonburg, a place she considers her true
home and admires for its natural beauty and the friendliness of its people.
Stephani studied jewelry design under the generous tutelage
of Jewelry Designer Melanie Lebel Schaeffer, who taught her jewelry making
techniques as well as offering advice on how to start up a small business. In 2010, Stephani launched Sparkling
Creations Jewelry. In her designs,
Stephani primarily uses wire wrapping techniques to twist high quality
materials into unique, handcrafted jewelry pieces. Her favorite materials to use are tarnish-resistant argentium
silver, Swarovski crystals, gemstones, and copper wire.
Stephani is also a Member Artist at Artisans Downtown
Gallery & Gifts and at the Artisans Courtyard of Dayton, where her work is
displayed and available for purchase.
Her jewelry is also available for purchase at the Skyline Café near
Massanutten Resort and via her website at
