Jude Sharp has been a professional custom jewelry designer working in gold, silver and platinum since 1970. Her shop is now located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where she has been working since 1984. Prior to moving to Pennsylvania, Jude created jewelry in Colorado, Utah and California. Jude Sharp is a graduate of Tyler College of Art (B.F.A. in metals). She has also completed courses in stone setting, repairs, platinum techniques and hand engraving taught by the Gemological Institute of America.

With over 30 years of experience, Jude has long-term relationships with reputable stone dealers, guaranteeing that the stones used in her custom jewelry are of the highest quality and brilliance. We have a wide spectrum of stones from which to choose, from the traditional to the unusual.

Sylvia Weaver joined Jude in her business during the summer 2002. She keeps the books and in general takes care of the non-jewelry-making aspects of the business. "She keeps me from going over the edge," says Jude.

Sylvia has what she calls a "well-rounded" background. She graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Computer and Information Science. Her job history includes network administrator, software instructor, beeswax candle maker, and adult literacy coordinator. "This work fits right in," she laughs.

Andrea Amey Miller worked for Jude when both were, well, younger. We welcomed Andrea back to our staff in July 2005. She is a bench jeweler who specializes in repairs and restorations . She also has her own line of Colonial and Civil War era reproduction jewelry. You can find her in our showroom Tuesday through Thursday.
