From upcoming sales and appraisal clinics to stories about clients and jewellery care, our blog is the place to read all about the latest news, events and updates in the world of Barclay’s from behind the scenes at our Oak Bay showroom.
Our client contacted us to commission a pendant designed with stones inherited from her family. With diamond marquises cascading down from a blue sapphire, the pendant was a test in contemporary design.
Inspired by her Scottish ancestry and the art nouveau movement, our client commissioned a Mackintosh Rose ring. With the look of stained glass, the Mackintosh Rose is more graphic than organic in style with strong lines and an asymmetrical composition.
Not all engagement rings call for a diamond. In fact, our client was set on a pearl for his fiancé – an ode to her individuality and their shared love of the ocean.
