About Me

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.
