The Scheherazade is a delicate hammered cuff named after the spellbinding storyteller in the Arabian Nights, a symbol of feminine courage, wit and beauty! In Arabic the name actually means a "female city dweller" and what city girl doesn't need a brave fighting spirit!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Barbara, your jewelry is spectacular and has brought much joy to us - and to the people to whom we have given your pieces!
Dear Barbara — I just wanted to write to say how much I enjoyed the time with you (and Georgia) last week. I had so much fun learning from you and visiting with both of you. You are a very thoughtful and generous host and teacher! Friday was definitely a highlight of my Santa Fe Art Week experience. The hands on practice and collaboration were an excellent complement to all the admiring, looking, and observing of the week. And I love how the mala necklace turned out! Thank you!
I cherish my many treasures (necklaces and earrings) from Barbara’s jewelry collection, all of which I enjoy wearing more than anything I own.
Each gem is individually created with her unique imagination.
Barbara has an intimate and professional knowledge of gemstones, which she crafts into stunning pieces, blending tradition with innovative design.
MORE KIND WORDS
I have purchased multiple items from BHWY Designs over many years, both for myself and as gifts.
I am drawn to the quality of the work and the chance to purchase unique items.
Barbara is such a talented designer and incredibly knowledgeable about gemstones.
I love all of my items, and frequently get compliments when I wear them.
Barbara's designs are stunning because they are both beautiful but also engaging. Her creations are contemporary but with echoes of antiquity, of museum pieces.
Intricate goldwork and beautiful gemstones lead you in, invite you to look closer.
I have been amazed at both the beauty and durability of the pieces I have purchased from BHWYDESIGNS.
The design of the earrings and necklaces is so fresh and unique, and their simple elegance make them a fun pairing with jeans or an eve
say it all with pearls!

pearl perfection
Almost nothing can compare to the unusual beauty of pearls grown in freshwater lakes, rivers and streams! They are unlike their sisters - Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea - grown in saltwater oceans.
Freshwater pearls have distinctive natural colors. And, they are definitely not your "mother's" traditional round pearls since they boast baroque and freeform shapes like small sculptures. These "lovelies" also come in sizes from petite to majestic XL. You will find various types of freshwater pearls to choose from in my collections.
For more general information on pearls and their cultivation scroll down to the video below.
Why are pearls so expensive?
