Who is Barbara Silverstein?
It’s a special love story.
It all began in the plumbing department
of a hardware store.
My eyes spotted braided stainless steel.
My response to its purity and beauty
was immediate and total.
And so began a process
that has lasted 23 years.
The love story continues
Just watch what’s coming next.

When did Barbara Start Designing Jewlery?
After two and a half years of research and development, my first collection was shown at the Fashion Accessories Expo in NYC (1995); Acknowledged as “The Best and The Brightest,” in their magazine. In 1997, I became smitten with the lint catcher in a clothes dryer. That’s how the knitting collection was born. At the same time I developed my unique magnet closure. It may well have been the first in the USA. In 2001, I took first place in the jewelry category at The Chicago One of A Kind Show. 2013 brought one of my designs into the permanent collection at The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, proudly wearing the title of “accessioned artist”
