Wandsworth Creatives

Barbara’s travels and interests in intricately detailed artwork and architecture has fuelled her imagination and influenced much of her work and this attention to detail is reflected in all her pieces. Each one is handmade in her studio in Wandsworth using 9ct gold, 18ct gold, sterling silver, precious and semi-precious stones, which she combines with traditional processes such as reticulation and wax carving to create timeless pieces that will be returned to time and time again.
