After graduating F.I.T. College in New York City, she worked as a Handbag and Luggage Designer
to later on working on In-House Catalogs for Montgomery Ward Fashions.
Spare time was spent filled with an excitement searching for Antiques and Collectibles as
her favorite hobby. An added pleasure that seemed so natural and intuitive was working part-time on the weekends at
a neighborhood Antique and Collectibles Shop.
She later joined up with a High End Art Gallery on 57th Street in Manhattan which
involved handling art exhibitions from Salvador Dali to Caldor with celebrities such as "Donald Trump", "Judith Leiber" and
Husband "Jack Leiber", "Sheila Elias" and many more which motivated her to enter a competitive Art Contest with
the Louisiana Watercolor Society in 1985. Her "Squareheads c" Girls, inspired by the Love of Children, a Childhood of
Collecting Antique Dolls and her great sense for Fashion and Design won her an Award plus a Gallery Exhibition
for a month in New Orleans.
During this period, collecting and selling Antique and Vintage Jewelry, Dolls, Pottery, Vanity
Items, Artisan Decor and Toys at Antique Shows and by Appointment became second nature under the name "Art Couple" and
"Years After".
The appreciation and admiration for Beautiful Objects which include Fine Quality,
Antique and Vintage Jewelry and her Managerial Experience took her to an Executive Position at a Prestigious Jewelry Manufacturing
Company in New York's Famous Diamond & Jewelry Exchange with clients such as "Harry Winston" and "Cartier".
Sharon brings a combination of talents, professionalism, Customer care and
Experience with an eternal passion for Old World Quality and Beauty to Years After On-line Shop at Ruby Lane.
