Barbara Garwood's background in textile design and her extensive travels to Asia led to the creation of her distinctive style which combines Russian and Chinese influences.
This 24k gold vermeil insect is adorned with colorful translucent enamel for a play of light through the thin layers of glass. Features six fully cut turquoise gemstones. 1.875" wide x 1.5" high.
Garwood says, "The craft is marvelous. Because you don't see this type of jewelry, people often stop me and ask if what I'm wearing is antique, and where did I get it. I have one longtime customer who paid me the highest compliment. She said, 'I've come to the conclusion that if I don't want to be bothered on a particular day I don't wear your jewelry because people stop me all day long!'"
