ForkRock Necklaces

Another Clever Design by Created by Shari Jewelry

“I hate to waste any part of a piece of beautiful, vintage silverware,” explains jewelry artist Shari Cabra. “That’s why I created “ForkRock” Necklaces.”

And, we’re glad she did. These beautiful necklaces will jazz up any outfit - from casual slacks to dressy suits.

At first glance you don’t realize the curled metal around the stone is part of a fork. Then you see it and think, “What a clever design.”

The next time you’re at one of my gift shows make sure you stop by my booth and look closely at a Created by Shari “ForkRock Necklace. You’ll see the tines of a vintage fork wrapped around a beautiful stone, which are then twisted further out, to form curls to loop the black cord through.

Mark your calendars, the next Kansas City Gift Mart Show is January 26-30, 2007.

WATCH OUT… For these unique time pieces!


Watch Slides by Created by Shari

Jewelry artist Shari Cabra hung watches upside down, from vintage pieces of silverware, for a good reason. Designed with nurses in mind these unique time pieces are both practical and convenient for people who often have their hands in water.

Watch Slide faces are available in four different shapes: round, oval, square and rectangular. Each is embellished with assorted bobbles and charms, and the only one of its kind since they are all created from a variety of silverware patterns.

Each Watch Slide necklace comes with a simple black suede cord. However, for a more elegant look, a silver chain can be used instead of the cord. This makes it especially easy for shop owners to cross sell silver chains.

Watch out for this clever necklace and new way to wear a watch, at the next gift show (in the Kansas City Gift Mart) on January 26-30, 2007.

Also, make sure you click on the link to the right to view the Created by Shari Catalogue. It’s up and running and I’m sure you’ll find it very convenient when placing orders.

Shop owners I encourage you to wear Created by Shari jewelry as often as you can. When you or an employee is wearing a Shari Cabra design it’s sending the message “we love this jewelry line,” while also demonstrating how elegantly it accessorizes any outfit.

And, since each design has the gleam of silver it’s so easy to mix and match pieces when you:

- tack on an angel pin, then
- pull on a beaded necklace, and
- slip on a charm bracelet.
