Zarah jewelry's unique appeal results from two rare kinds of talent. To create fresh, new designs, Zarah seeks out contemporary artists renowned for achievements in any kind of art forms. To obtain technical excellence, master artisans in China, who are expert in the old-world craft of enameling, translate the designs into distinctive pieces of jewelry. Each piece is hand-painted using solutions containing colored granules of glass. Next, they are fired in a kiln to produce an alluring richness in color. Some designs are then plated in 24-karat gold, some are complemented with beads or semi-precious stones. All jewelry is sterling silver. Barretts are silver-plated copper for strength. Barretts are fitted with a fine French clip. Zarah strives to delight you with jewelry that is fun to wear.
