Sixteen © Barbara Heath pieces back for cleaning, two rethreads, settings check, photography and up-to-date replacement valuations, all for a favourite client. Her husband Bryce is always one of the early birds to our annual studio sales, snapping up a strong piece while Janet often commissions pieces to fill the gaps.
I love all our customers, everyone follows Barbara’s minimal aesthetic in their own way. While some love to add more bling others prefer this pared-back look. It is powerful to see what one client has selected for her everyday jewellery to enhance her look.

German premier gem supplier visited us two weeks ago – we bought wonderful cabochons and faceted stones for our wholesale collection but one client who had a wish-list note with us was so taken by the graduated strand of Indicolite Tourmalines, she just bought them on the spot. Barbara also remarked when threading the gem beads how much better the drilling was compared with the Asian material we are offered. Here is the handmade textured clasp with a small round brilliant cut Diamond © Bh 2016 commission.

Barbara makes everything locally with Juan-Luis, her other permanent studio jeweller and Dimitar, our off-site back-up. Keeping up stock to our three retailers is hard these days as our lovely ‘commission’ clients are now initiating jewels into their family’s third generation. Most new business comes from word-of-mouth and my daughter’s extended set of fashionistas . . . these flower earrings usually go as soon as they are seen out and about.
