We love it when the whole family is involved, mother and two daughters spark off each other and Barbara works through the generations of treasures. One existing commission of Cath’s is further amended, a bold raw Amber necklace for Ruth. Two versions of a great recycled necklace with Coral and Turquoise has been designed for Janice.
A gem ‘bricolage’ set of earrings designed for Cath.
