Barbara is respected amongst her international peers as ‘Ms Texture’. There is a delicate balance between the high carat metal used, the lace impression that pierces the surface of the gold, the sparse use of white enamel fusion, the unique arrangement of quality gems set into the dish and the fine shouldered shank.
