Barbara & Dean Parks

Clinton, MS

Metal (Silver)/Stones

Jewelry

Guild member since 1979

Barbara and Dean work together and almost every piece of jewelry has input from both them. Most of their pieces have a semiprecious gem stone as a focal point. The metal surrounding the stone is sawed, filed, hammered, and individually applied, so that each piece has its own character and is slightly different from any other piece. The Parks’ silver designs tend to have strong geometric lines, clean contemporary, and abstract shapes.
