While many artists and metalsmiths conjure memories of exploring their mother's or grandmother's jewelry boxes as a child, it's the rare designer like Barbara Klar who recalls trips to the hardware store with her father, punk rock music breaking up the silent Midwest nights and simple clouds overhead as equally inspirational and meaningful. 

Clear Metals is a testament to Barbara's fascinating collection, a unique presentation of one-of-a kind and limited edition gold and silver jewelry, completely designed and crafted by her in her upstate studios.
