The Story of the Bells
A collection of jewelry bells designed by artist Gordon R. Barnett cast in silver, bronze, and gold. Created for fashionable gifts and symbolic talismans, delightful in sight and sound, touching deeper sensory connections as well. Each bell rings its own story.GRB Bells are cast using traditional lost wax methods along with many contemporary refinements in technology. They are brought to a rich finish with a jeweler’s skill, plus unusual care.More than three decades ago an impulsive notion made a connection for me to the old-fashioned, indeed ancient, idea of a precious bauble which makes sound. I’ve come rather to believe that these venerable archetypes wanted to live more lively again… if I hadn’t paid attention I believe they would have found someone else… indeed, I am happy to know I am not alone in this enthrallment!My trail of some 250 unique jewelry bell designs makes probably the largest Collection in production by a single designer. Apparently, they are not finished with me yet!
