Her Accessories I am constantly blown away by some of the talent that I’m finding and here is another designer you should know about. Her name is Szarka… This turquoise nugget (yes it is brownish greenish orange - amazing) just begged to be married to these hand carved gaspeite roundelles and tiger’s eye cubes. Am I the only one who didn’t know that turquoise doesn’t necessarily have to be blue?

Step by Step Wire Featured in the Gallery of Original Designs in the 2007 Winter Step by Step Wire Jewelry mag.

The Beading Gems Journal Feature Designer Szarka is a 16 year wire-twisting veteran who deeply appreciates the gemstones she uses. She confesses to fondling gems and lets each piece dictate how the design unfolds rather than the other way around. This is but one design among many. Her sampling of her latest collection for the season shows her versatility as an artisan.

SABOS News Thanks to Szarka, owner of Turquoise Magpie, for vending at our September meeting. We hope she comes back again soon. Over the years, Szarka has developed contacts all over the world, which means she gets stones at great prices. She has been designing jewelry for 16 years & had a travelling shop. She traversed all the western states selling her jewelry creations, funky hand made clothing, beads & imports at music festivals & fairs.

The Kitalog I stumbled across ... Szarka's blog of her jewelry designs. I ended up ordering this lovely turquoise necklace, and also sent her some polished beach stones from Lake Michigan, one of which she wrapped beautifully in silver wire and sent back.

Handmade Gift Guide Interview with Szarka by Shannon Williams of Vixens Natural Jewelry When I first started making jewelry I had so many questions. How do you price your items? Where is a good place to get materials? How do you wire wrap jewelry? Lucky for me, I found the Magpie. She has been a shining light helping jewelry makers everywhere.   More Press Articles
