"Spirit integrated with eternity exposed as style by human effort." These are the words written by Barbara Westwood to honor her craft and her creativity.
Westwood has worked with the highest quality cut precious gems and stones throughout her career. She has developed an ingenious system which allows any jewelry collector to custom build his or her own jewelry. All Westwood chains, slides, jewel drops, and brooch pins are interchangeable, providing endless possiblilities.
Barbara's passion, for over 30 years, has been rare and one of a kind fine colored gemstone's. Her latest collection feature the truly world class gem creations from the world's finest gem cutters and carvers. These "Gifts" as she calls them are the result of this passion, philosophy and the desire to connect with others with her art.
People ask, "What is Art?", and they wonder why there are so many divergent opinions. Perhaps a better question is "What is an Artist?" Is it inspiration? Is it vision? Is it technique? Is it non-conformity? Or is it a way to communicate our inner most feelings without a word?
We are, if we choose to acknowledge it, all artists in our own private lives and hopefully we all find the right vehicle for that expression.
Barbara Westwood has found hers...
