Barbara Spence

Barbara uses traditional techniques to create a range of modern geometric jewellery, strongly influenced by mid-century designs. Her pieces are highlighted by contrasting textures, colour and materials. With the perspex collection, conceived to compliment her existing work, she has reworked her signature pieces in vibrantly coloured acrylics. 

The sets of square stacking rings best exemplify Barbara's work. They are made of two or more rings in exciting combinations of precious metals, beautiful gemstones and brightly coloured acrylics. The rings sit together on the finger but are not attached so they can be worn individually, in different combinations or with alternative coloured perspex rings. 

Barbara originally studied Math at University but after taking a silver course had a complete change of direction. She studied jewellery techniques at City Lit, completing her diploma in 2010. 

Barbara now works from a shared studio in north London.
