Shiny Objects

The History Of Shiny Objects
Shiny Objects was developed from the popularity of glass jewelry by glass artist Jason Thiemann. Jason had the desire to showcase the largest glass jewelry selection on Sanibel and Captiva Islands (tropical islands located in southwest Florida) in his glass art gallery, and according to some now showcases the largest glass jewelry selection in all of Florida!

The name "Shiny Objects" was actually chosen by our customers. When Jason decided to expand his retail glass art gallery and separate his glass jewelry collection into the space next door to his original gallery, there was only one catch - even though they were right next door to each other, two "separate" businesses couldn't have the same name. With less than 24 hours until his grand opening, Jason simply asked "What do customers say when they walk into the gallery and look at our glass jewelry?" Shiny Objects was born!

We have been in business since 2000, and we pride ourselves on providing customers with the best-quality and most unique products and top notch personalized service as part of the Shiny Objects Experience. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business!

About The Artists
Jason Thiemann is a second generation glass artist whose career began at the world famous MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in fabulous Las Vegas. It was during his live glass blowing demonstrations that Jason had the opportunity to be observed and advised by some of the best glass artists in the world. Following the operation of a family owned glass gallery and his own wholesale operation, Jason decided to once again venture into retail with the opening of his glass gallery on Sanibel Island in beautiful southwest Florida. Jason's accomplishments include the creation of a true Glow In The Dark glass (after being told many times that doing so was impossible!), which has been used throughout the country in unique artwork including sculptures and chandeliers. Jason enjoys developing new methods of glasswork, including combining glass fusing with glass blowing. Jason also enjoys creating new jewelry designs as well as teaching others - especially his sons!

Tyler is the oldest of the third generation of glass artists. Tyler's glass talents include his natural abilities with dichroic glass. He has also designed unique marbles and paperweights which are sought after by collectors nationwide. Tyler's other interests include music and acting.

Kevin is the youngest family member to take up glass art. Kevin's glass art includes pendants and characters - and he has the unique ability to give each of his characters their very own personality. Kevin's work has been exhibited at galleries and retail art shows throughout the country, and he has performed live glass blowing demonstrations at various events since the age of 13. Kevin's other interests include football, track and field (discus) and taekwondo.
