McCLELLAND BARCLAY was both an illustrator and a
designer. Born in 1891, he painted and made sculptural utilitarian pieces
and decorative objects for the home, as well as wonderful jewelry. His design sense
was magnificent, and his rhinestone jewelry is well known and collected.
But while they are not his best known work, I prefer his
Arts and Crafts style sterling jewelry pieces. Sadly, he died in World War II. Most of
his sterling jewelry was made in 1942 and 1943.

McCLELLAND BARCLAY
sterling bracelet with abstract foliate design, circa 1940, 7-1/2" by 3/4".
Someone in the past removed three links to make this fit a small wrist.
I had the links professionally recast and replaced but you would never
know it if I had not told you. They match perfectly.
