Jewelry by Szarka : Black Australian Opal

Welcome, I'm Dianne, aka Szarka. I am a Romungro-Polska Roma jewelry artist with a passion for twisting wire and fondling gems. Born in Calgary, Alberta, I spent my childhood summers in the Rocky Mountains, where my love for nature and rocks was kindled.

With 35 years of experience as an international gem dealer and jewelry artist I've honed my craft through dedication and humility. My journey has taken me from geology to social work, and finally, back to my true love – gems and wire. I've traveled the Western States, trading and selling my creations at festivals, markets, and galleries.

As a Roma woman, I draw inspiration from my cultural heritage and the beauty of the natural world. My jewelry is a reflection of my story, infused with the intensity and beauty of nature. Join me on this journey, and let's twist some wire together!"
