Shari K Stadel Jewelry: A Working Craft Diary


Shari K Stadel Jewelry’s working diary blog—new works in silver, this past summer’s CARNIVORA collaboration, and deeper explorations of the crafting of wedding bands.

New Silverworks & Cross










CARNIVORA collaboration


SKS worked with artist Jason Covert this summer on his CARNIVORA: a cross disciplinary exhibition of photography, illustration, sculpture, painted works, ceremonial artifacts, poetry, jewelry, and music. Sculptural jewelry was designed by Jason, and I worked with him in realizing the designs, translating his sketches into three dimensional works, carved in wax, and cast in sterling silver—with ebony inlay, black onyx, and amber.
