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 both his sterling and his rhinestone jewelry is
well known and collected. I prefer his Arts and Crafts influenced sterling jewelry pieces
are which beautifully made but
hard to find . Sadly, he died in World War II. Most of
his sterling jewelry was made in 1942 and 1943. |
