SparklesMan Jewelry came about because of a random encounter with the mineral zoisite, specifically the violet-blue variety know as tanzanite, in February of 2019. My wife and I were in the Yucatan in Mexico on a tour from our resort. We visited a jewelry store outside of Playa del Carmen and were shown the tanzanite collection. They started by showing her a smaller and modestly priced piece, but she asked about the largest and most impressive pendant- a musical motif design of 14k white gold featuring a 3+ct beautifully clean and bright violet blue oval tanzanite and a baker's dozen fine white diamonds- to get an idea about the value. After negotiating a fair sale price, she had her prize. What started out as a learning experience researching the origins of tanzanite and other minerals as a hobby, gemstones and jewelry have become my passion and I'm delighted to share it with you. I am proud to have produced many semi-custom silver and gemstone items for happy customers and look forward to continuing my work for many more years to come! This site will be the starting point for many new customers to explore the range of gemstone options I have available for your special project.

I love this piece. The quality and precise construction of the pin latch allowed me to enclose it in the sterling tubing and make it very secure.

Blue topaz filigree ring converted from CABOCHON to facet for a friend. It is a family heirloom but the stone had been lost. Thank you MH for convincing me to do this conversion and trusting me with your dad's ring. Learned a lot from this one. Absolutely marvelous results and STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES.
A very special custom Sparklesman created for a dear old friend as a birthday gift for his lovely wife. He chose this fancy cut blue topaz and said, 'she likes the rough hewn look so use your creativity to make a silver necklace '.

This is honestly the most beautiful necklace I’ve ever seen. I had recently purchased another necklace from a different shop that ended up not looking anything like the pictures, so I was hesitant to buy online again. But this did not disappoint! It ended being exactly as advertised, and the shop owner was so kind about swapping the necklace chain length. I love this shop and it’s nice to know that what you will receive is just as beautiful as the pictures, if not more beautiful. Honest advertising and great customer service!
