Barbara Garwood Carved Cinnabar NecklaceMongolian style filigree and enameled jewelry handmade with a Russian and Chinese influence from the past 1000 year period of history.

The technique is similar to that used to make original Faberge Eggs which were made of gold, silver and precious stones. These pieces are sterling silver with semi-precious stones and 24 kt gold plated.

This necklace is a lot of fun to wear. Blue Topaz, Amethyst and Iolite stones are placed in a 24 kt gold vermeil setting with a 18" magnetic clasp chain.

The matching lever back earrings are with Blue Topaz stones with the enamel swirls and 24 kt gold vermeil.


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.

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!'"
