Barbara Smith McLaughlin – Fine Jewelry is the culmination of a journey started in my childhood. As a young child I recall playing “dressing up” but it was not the clothes that mattered it was the jewelry. I have been blessed with a gift of color perception that most people do not have, I have more pins and cones in my eyes which allows me to see subtle color variations. This gift came from my grandfather who was a master dye matcher in the woolen industry.
A lot of thought, time and patience has been curated into each piece of jewelry, capturing a moment of my life in metal and stones leaving an heirloom to be treasured for generations. |
Rich Textures and Gorgeous Gems are the building blocks of my jewelry. In January of 2023, I reflected back on the past year with the introduction of my Tahitian Cherry Collection. What I found was a way to build a very cohesive body of work. I received a number of awards and accolades with that collection want to read more .
Yes, I will find a way to fashion an asymmetrical earring { it will just be a different style!}. So, new for 2023 is the Magnolia Collection. My only goal is to offer you jewelry that makes you feel beautiful inside and out!
