An antique, but NEW sterling silver line shown during Boston Fashion Week on September 25th, 2010. Atlanta, Georgia -- Barbara Garwood, designer and president of Barbara Garwood, today announced her handmade Mongolian style jewelry line will be showing new introductions during Boston Fashion Week at The Emerging Trends 2010 fashion show presented on Sept. 25, 8pm-midnight at The Castle, Boston Park Plaza Hotel. This sterling silver and 24kt gold line combines ancient Chinese and Russian filigree techniques with Western design and colorations transforming them into modern wearable art that is a fabulous accent worn with today's fashion. Garwood personally travels to Asia to design and work with 20 crafts women who she is passionate about preserving their lifestyle and their dying art form by providing employment for them for over 17 years. Each piece is hand fashioned with tweezers where fine silver wires are shaped into flowers, butterflies and contemporary designs. Powdered enamel is painstakingly filled into the shapes and kiln fired into glass for a stunning, high gloss coloration. The technique and has been around for 1000 years similar to the Faberge egg process, and during the 1700's it was popular with the Qing Dynasty empresses. Garwood hand selects gemstones from around the world, which are set, and then a final 24kt gold or antique silver finish completes each piece that can take from 3 - 7 days to make. This designer collection includes bracelets (some for 8" sizes), earrings, unique rings, and pendants on various pearls and beads also designed by Garwood, handmade and imported from Nepal, Guatemala and Indonesia. Every piece comes gift ready in a lovely gold monogrammed satin pouch with an artisan card telling the story of the craft and how each purchase helps preserve the art and employs the lovely woman. Currently her pieces are sold through catalogs such as National Geographic, Smithsonian, Uno Alla Volta and Ross Simons, and various art galleries, boutiques, and gift stores internationally.
