 Pandora & Pendragon: 1972, Germany
The Artist:
Pandora Barthen was born in Frankfurt to American parents.
A promising young artist, Pandora was influenced by many exotic cultures.
She traveled throughout Europe and the Far East as a youngster and young
woman. Pandora was invited to be a special apprentice to Sir Henry Moore
and Anthony Ciro at St. Martins School for the Arts in London. Circumstances
required that she pass up this opportunity and, instead, establish herself
as a successful interior designer. In 1993, Pandora settled in Washington
State. As an outlet for her love of creating sculptural objects, she began
creating jewelry. Now a professional jewelry designer, Pandora Barthen
has found mediums and styles which guided her to becoming a master artist
and craftswoman, creating jewelry designs known throughtout the country.
The founder of Pandora & Pendragon™, Pandora Barthen with
Lee Wooldridge, have been active on the Internet as a jewelry business
since 1997. Pandora & Pendragon™ is a member in good standing of several
professional organizations including: Gemological Institute of America;
The Jewelers Vigilance Committee; and The Accredited Gemologists Association.
She has won prestigious awards and been published in national professional
literature and books including the Lark Book, GemStone Jewlels. Ms. Barthen
has studied with some of the finest American jewelry artists. The jewelry
collection described here and represented below represents years of experience,
experimentation, and training.
The Art:
Pandora & Pendragon™ designs are the foundation of collectible
handmade jewelry. Ms. Barthen's work is inspired by designs from the Art
Deco and Art Nouveau movements, periods when jewelry made a major impact
on the art world. Pandora Barthen, individually, is an award-winning jewelry
designer producing many original jewelry designs. Her work has been displayed
in professional publications including The 500 Series from Lark Books,
an inspirational collection of books showcasing top artists and their
collections of contemporary design. This year's 500 Gemstone Jewels features
two of Pandora & Pendragon™ most fashion forward designs.
Each Pandora Barthen jewelry creation is an object d' art
surrounded and encrusted with gold, precious gems, artifacts, and enamel.
Natures exotic materials are transformed into one of a kind sensuous wearable
works of art. Themes are exotic, romantic, elegant and lavish. Ms. Barthen's
designs are executed with classic techniques, and each piece reflects
the skill and craftsmanship of the master jeweler.
Every piece of jewelry is signed. Works are small limited
editions or one-of-a-kind pieces. Pandora & Pendragon™ create for the
discriminating connoisseur. All work is held to the highest of quality
standards. Each work is unique, "because of the unique nature of the materials
and craftsmanship employed in the making of Pandora & Pendragon™ jewelry,
each piece is a work of art separate and individualized – unique unto
itself."
One of a kind commissions and jewelry restoration are available
and will be finished to specific order. Regarding custom work, Pandora
frequently recommends the use of old and unused jewelry. She suggests
that recycling jewelry is way to be ecologically responsible while still
being able to enjoy the height of fashion. Many custom designs have been
produced using reclaimed silver, gold, platinum and gems from jewelry
that had been irreparably damaged, doesn't fit a lifestyle, or had become
just too outdated to be enjoyable. Pandora & Pendragon™ will work closely
with each client creating custom jewelry to specifications and measurements.
Pandora can craft designs in precious metals, fossils, semiprecious stones,
and gems (subject to availability). Contact us with specific requirements
(size, construction and design) to receive an estimate. Gift certificates
from Pandora & Pendragon™ are available. Please note that custom orders
may only be returned due to defects in manufacture or materials.
